The garb of wheat on his personal arms represents his native Minneapolis (the “miller of the Midwest”) and the green field alludes to the plains as well as recalling the liturgical color symbolizing hope.
The crescent represents his devotion to Mary, and the Latin cross is a symbol of faith. The upper portion of the shield is taken from the arms associated with the bishop’s family and the waves in base allude to the Sioux River and recall his service as bishop of the Diocese of Sioux Falls, S.D.
