As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The shepherds staff is canting: Gaydos is a Slavic word for ´shepherd´. The eagle is the symbol for Saint-John the Evangelist, bishops Gaydos´ baptismal patron.
The rose is here the ¨Orsini Rose¨, which represents the Pontifical North American College in Rome where bishop Gaydos studied. The rose also represent the Blessed Virgin Mary and has come to indicate a reverence for all human life.
The motto comes from 1 Petr. 5:2-3.
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop by instruction of the Holy See, of March 1969, confirmed in March 2001.
