Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
For his personal arms, Bishop Rozanski has selected a design that is based on two major themes; his Polish heritage and his service to the Archdiocese of Baltimore.
In the upper portion of the design, in red and silver, the colors of the Polish national flag, are a cross bottony, which represented in red on silver, is a variant on the symbolism known as a "cross of St. Michael, " the Bishop's baptismal patron. To the right of the cross is a silver rose on a red field, drawing upon the significance that his family name refers to "Rose flower" in Polish.
In base, on the alternating vertical bars of black and gold with a red diagonal bar (for the Archdiocese of Baltimore is an open book of the Most Holy Scriptures. This symbolism joins well with the Bishop's motto, that is taken from the 100th Psalm, that in all that Bishop Rozanski is to do for The Lord, he is called to "SERVE THE LORD WITH GLADNESS."
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.
