HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE FOR GIRL SCOUTS AND CAMP FIRE By Virginia Reed

The present National Catholic Committee for Girl Scouts and Camp Fire dates back to the early days of the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) and the National Catholic Welfare Conference. Although it has functioned in various capacities and under several different names, this committee's purpose has remained the same: to minister to the Catholic girls in Girl Scouts (at first) and Camp Fire (since 1973).

Beginnings The relationship between Girl Scouting and Catholic youth ministry is the result of the foresight of Juliette Gordon Low. Soon after founding the Girl Scout movement in 1912, Low traveled to Baltimore to meet James Cardinal Gibbons and consult with him about her project. Five years later, Joseph Patrick Cardinal Hayes of New York appointed a representative to the Girl Scout National Board of Directors. The cardinal wanted to determine whether the Girl Scout program, which was so fine in theory, was equally sound in practice. Satisfied on this point, His Eminence publicly declared the program suitable for Catholic girls. In due course, the four U.S. Cardinals and the U.S. Catholic hierarchy followed suit. In the early 1920's, Girl Scout troops were formed in parochial schools and Catholic women eagerly became leaders in the program.

When CYO was established in the early 1930's, Girl Scouting became its ally as a separate cooperative enterprise. In 1936, sociologist Father Edward Roberts Moore of Catholic charities, Archdiocese of New York, studied and approved the Girl Scout program because it was fitting for girls to beome "participating citizens in a modern, social democracy." This support further enhanced the relationship between the Catholic church and Girl Scouting.

In 1970, the Committee was officially named the "Girl Scout Committee of the Advisory Board" of the National CYO Federation. The Committee expanded in 1973 to include Camp Fire Girls. Membership was composed of clergy and laity, and included a consultant from each of the organizations.

The NCYOF advisory Board itself and the United State Catholic Conference (USCC) underwent structural changes during the following 12 years.

The Archdiocese of New Orleans sponsored the first gathering of adults from all over the country who were active in Girl Scouting and in Camp Fire. From this meeting came the genesis of the committee in its present day form. At that gathering, a dream was conceived that there would be a national committee composed of representatives from the NCYOF regions. A resolution requesting the formation of such a committee was sent to the National Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Out of this action and due to the inclusion of the Junior Catholic Daughters of America 9JCDA), THE "National Committee on Girls' Organizations" was the name given to the new committee structure which provided for the first time for geographic representation of diocesan youth directors, Girl Scout and Camp Fire chaplains and volunteers. Additional members on the newly-structured committee were a NCYOF Board-approved volunteer and one consultant from each of the three organizations, Girl Scouts, Camp Fire and Junior Catholic Daughters of Americ.

Revised 3/11/2019 Following this re-structuring, formal Plans of Cooperation between the USCC and GSUSA, and the USCC and Camp Fire Girls. When Camp Fire changed its membership to include boys, all documents were changed to reflect the new corporate name, Camp Fire, Inc.

The committee's second gathering was a national conference held in Detroit in 1979. The St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Medal was developed in 1980 to recognize adults who made significant contributions to the spiritual development of Catholic girls in Girl Scouts and Camp Fire. Another national conference was held in 1981 in Houston.

A Crucial Decision A major RERSTRUCTURING OF THE NCYOF was mandated in1980. Once again, the committee faced critical decisions regarding its future. The committee conducted a national survey of diocesan youth directors and chaplains. The 92 percent response indicated much support for the work of the committee. After prayerful and serious deliberation, the committee voted, on January 17, 1982, to remain an integral part of the total youth ministry concept defined in A Vision of Youth Ministry (USCC, 1976). At this time, the Junior Catholic Daughters of America (JCDA) excluded itself from membership but requested permission to use the national religious recognition programs.

The National Federation for Catholic Youth Ministry (NFCYM) was the result of the NCYOF restructuring. The Federation was formed at Malvern, Pennsylvania on January 19, 1982. Because of its decision two days earlier, the National Catholic Committee for Girl Scouts and Camp Fire was already a part of the newly-formed Federation. The 1988 by-law changes of the NFCYM clearly reflect and support the wisdom of this decision.

A benefit of this unifying action was the Plan of Cooperation between the USCC and the NFCYM which granted the transfer of the programs and conferences of this Committee from the USCC to the Federation.

At its biennial conference in McKeesport, Pennsylvania in 1983, the Committee decided to present its next conference for the Girl Scout-Camp Fire ministry as a track to the National Conference on Catholic Youth Ministry thereby integrating our mutual needs and resources. Since that time, we have provided training opportunities for adult Diocesan leaders in Phoenix and Cincinnati.

The latter event included the premier viewing of the national slide presentation, MINISTRY THROUGH GIRL SCOUTS AND CAMP FIRE, produced with inspiration and cooperation from the Office of Youth Ministry, Archdiocese of New York and the Middle Mississippi Girl Scout Council, Jackson, Mississippi.

In 1986, the Committee set for itself the following mandate: The committee encourages and promotes cooperation between Girl Scouting and Camp Fire with youth ministry by - advising the Federation on the content and design of religious recognition programs; - promoting participation in these programs within the youth ministry philosophy; and - designing, planning and implementing training opportunities for key adult and teen leaders.

Belief in God and acknowledgement of one's responsibility to God are values inherent in both the Girl Scout Promise and the Camp Fire Oath. As time and change have surfaced new challenges, these values, so dominant in the organizations whose Catholic membership we serve, remain true to the philosophies of their Founders. The opportunities presented by these challenges call upon us to

Revised 3/11/2019 continue to work diligently for the spiritual development of the Catholic youth in these viable avenues of youth ministry—Girl Scouting and Camp Fire. NCCGSCF Religious Recognition Programs

The Family of God program is an activity series developed to compliment the catechetical efforts of the parish and families with children in the 2nd and 3rd grades. The parents and adults who serve as advisors to the children help them to grow in religious awareness by talking about the experiences that make up the program. The suggested completion time for the program is approximately three months.

I Live My Faith is a program of general Christian formation for 9 to 11 year olds. It is organized into project units that seek to develop in each individual youth, an awareness of her potential as growing human person, a responsible member of the family, an involved member of the troop/group, a searching, growing member in the community of faith and a participating citizen in the community. I Live My Faith provides a foundation for the Marian Medal Program for older youth, but it does not duplicate the thrust and activities of the Marian Medal. Completion time takes about six months.

The Marian Medal program is for 12 to 15 year old youths. It is intended to compliment the work of formal religious education carried on by the Catholic Schools and the CCD. This program is action oriented. However, the type of action that is emphasized is reflective action. Each chapter has been developed by assembling a series of action projects that relate to the theme, followed by a "wrap-up" exercise at the end of each chapter by which participants are asked to reflect on the implications that the projects have for their Catholic faith. Approximate time for completion is one year.

The Spirit Alive program is for youth 15-18 years old. It helps them discover the Holy Spirit acting in their lives through a program of research, dialogue and activities.

All four programs are official religious recognition programs of the Roman Catholic Church in the U.S.A. for youth enrolled in the Girl Scouts of the U.S.A., Camp Fire, Inc., the Junior Catholic Daughters of Americas and other similar youth organizations. The medal designed for each of the three programs, should be conferred upon successful completion of the program. It serves as both a reminder of the learned experience and a symbol of commitment to faith through prayer, service and the responsible community participation.

Diocese of Dallas Archives "What is past is prologue”

Welcome to the Archives and the Diocesan Museum. Canon Law requires that each diocese maintain three types of archives: canonical archives; general archives and historical archives. The basic purpose of the Church's archival activities is to preserve the cultural heritage of the Church; this includes documents, photographs, and works of art, ecclesiastical vessels and other objects of historical and cultural value.

Canonical archives consist of confidential documents that are retained in the Chancellor's office and accessible only to the Bishop, the Chancellor and the Vicar General. Both general and historical archives are maintained in the Diocesan Archives. Included among these are a catalog of baptismal records for all parishes in the Diocese; document files on all parishes and schools, general files on clergy, photographic archives, a collection of rare ecclesiastical books and a collection of relics.

In the Diocesan Museum is found a portion of the archival collection including sacred vessels, vestments, habits of religious orders of women and Episcopal appointments belonging to Bishop Joseph Patrick Lynch, who, as third Bishop of Dallas, served in that capacity from 1912 until his death in 1954. Among the items of interest from the Bishop Lynch collection are two miters, a crosier, his personal chalice and a breakfast set.

A number of reliquaries containing some of our collection of relics are on display, along with an ornate monstrance and several chalices belonging to deceased priests of the diocese. The large cut-out figure of a priest on horseback is Oblate Father Emil Platte, pastor of St. Joseph Church for many years. There is also a marble bust of Pope Pius XII, presented to the museum by the family of Miss Estelle Metzger, former archivist, who died in 1999.

On your left as you enter, on the far wall is a very rare choir book dating from the 14th or 15th century. The book is all hand made and hand lettered. It was used in a monastery in Europe by the monks, who chanted the office in choir each day. Above the choir book is the Papal Bull of Pope Leo XIII, establishing the Diocese of Dallas in 1890. Portraits of Pope Leo may be found on the back wall and on the easel at the front of the museum.

On the easel stand is a portrait of Bishop Edward Joseph Dunne, Bishop of Dallas. The portrait, done in pastels, was commissioned upon his election as bishop to be raffled in Chicago, where he was consecrated, to provide a farewell gift. The portrait was later acquired by a Houston family who donated it to the Diocesan Museum in 1998.

Revised 3/11/2019 To your right is a photograph of Sister Lois Bannon, OSU, former archivist and founder of the Diocesan Museum. The four religious orders of women whose habits are on display are the Ursulines, in the right-hand cabinet, the Sisters of Divine Providence, in the left hand cabinet, and the Daughters of Charity of St Vincent de Paul, on the right hand cabinet and the Sisters of St Mary of Namur inside the left hand cabinet They represent the thousands of women religious who have served and continue to serve the Church of Dallas.

The Archives and Diocesan Museum is staffed principally by volunteers interested in preserving the cultural heritage of the Church of Dallas. We currently have volunteers working to maintain our records and document files, organize the papers of Bishop Thomas Tschoepe, fifth Bishop of Dallas, compile a history of all parochial and diocesan schools, and prepare an exhibit of early churches to be called "Prairie Gothic.**

A new history of the Diocese of Dallas, "Circuit Rider to Cathedral," was published in 2002 in both English and Spanish. The book was written, compiled and edited by the staff and volunteers of the Diocesan Archives. A second book, a textbook for use at the junior high school level, which tells the story of the Catholic Church in Texas, "Catholic Texans: A Family Album," has been in use since the fall semester of 2003 in both English and Spanish. It is a joint project of the Diocesan Archives and the Catholic Schools Office. Each one of the diocese in Texas had an opportunity to write a few pages of the history of their diocese in "Catholic Texans." In honor of Bishop Charles Grahmann's triple jubilee: 50 years as a priest, 25 years as a bishop and his 75th birthday on July 15, 2006, "To Walk Humbly with Your God" was published. Later in collaboration with the cathedral restoration, the "Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe: Dallas,” of 2006 was released in both English and Spanish. In honor of the Diocese of Dallas being established as a separate see in the state on July 15, 1890 by Pope Leo XIII, we have four free E-books available: “Prologue to the Future: A Brief Chronicle of the Catholic Church in North Texas,” https://www.cathdal.org/Prologue_to_the_Future__A_Brief_Chronicle_of_the_Catholic_Church_in_N orth_Texas.pdf ; “Prairie Gothic: 19th and early 20th Century Diocese of Dallas Churches,” https://www.cathdal.org/Prairie_Gothic__19th_and_early_20th_Century_Diocese_of_Dallas_churches .pdf ; “They Came to Serve: A Chronicle of Women Religious in the Catholic Diocese of Dallas,” http://catholic-diocese-of- dallas.epaperflip.com/v/A-Chronicle-of-Women-Religious. “Catholic Texans: Our Family Album, Teachers Edition,” https://www.cathdal.org/Catholic_Texans_8-1-08.pdf

Revised 3/11/2019 Symbolism of the Diocesan Coat-of-Arms

Crests or coats-of-arms tell about the history of a place or a family, the crest of the Diocese of Dallas is no different.

At the top of the crest is a bishop’s mitre, the tall hat worn by bishops that is a symbol of their office. Beneath that is a red shield with a number of objects. Red is the color of the Sacred Heart of Jesus, patron of the diocese. In the upper right hand corner are crossed swords, the symbol of St. Paul who died by the sword. It represents the mission at St. Paul, Texas in Collin County. St. Paul mission was the first Catholic Church in what is now the Diocese of Dallas.

In the lower left corner is a star, it represents the Lone Star of Texas. Running diagonally is a wavy line with three blue fleurs-de-lis. The fleur-de-lis, or flower of life, is a symbol of the Holy Trinity and is also the national symbol of France. In the crest both symbols are meaningful. The wavy line represents the Trinity River, whose original name was Most Holy Trinity. Three fleurs-de-lis represent the Trinity. They also recall the French priests who first served the diocese.

Through its imagery, the crest presents a symbolic history of the Diocese of Dallas. Downloaded March 12, 2019 https://www.cathdal.org/history#coatofarms

Sacred Heart Cathedral, Now, Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe, Dallas. Est. 1872

Before Sacred Heart Parish was established in 1869 Dallas had been served by circuit riding priests first from Nacogdoches and then from St. Paul in Collin County. In 1872, Father M. Perrier built the first church, a small frame building at Bryan and Harwood. Prior to that Mass had been held in private homes and at the Odd Fellows Hall. The Ursuline Sisters were brought to Dallas in 1874 by Father Joseph Martiniere, the second pastor, and opened Sacred Heart Parish School.

When the Diocese of Dallas was established by Pope Leo XIII in 1890, a cathedral church had not been designated. When Bishop Thomas Francis Brennan was appointed he designated Sacred Heart the pro-cathedral or temporary cathedral. His successor, Bishop Edward Joseph Dunne laid the cornerstone for the present cathedral on the Feast of the Sacred Heart in 1898. Bishop Dunne dedicated the structure, designed by Nicholas Clayton, on October 26, 1902.

In 1965, Bishop Thomas K. Gorman merged Sacred Heart Cathedral Parish and Our Lady of Guadalupe Parish. On Dec. 12, 1975, the feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, Bishop Thomas Tschoepe announced that liturgies at the old Guadalupe church would be discontinued and Sacred Heart Cathedral would be renovated and renamed Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of Guadalupe. The Congregation of Bishops in Rome issued a decree on Dec. 8, 1977, officially changing the name, and on Dec.12, Bishop Tschoepe executed the proclamation decree.

Pastoral administration of the cathedral has been in the hands of the diocesan priests except for the period 1965 to 1988, after the merger with Our Lady of Guadalupe, when pastoral administration was in the hands of the Carmelite Fathers.

In 1996 a major construction project was completed. A new pastoral center with office, a religious education center and a grand hall replaced the old rectory and parish school buildings. Interior renovation of the cathedral has been underway since 2000. Recently a bell tower was added with 49 bells, ranging in size from over 5 feet to less than 1 foot.

Since July 1, 2017, Stephen Bierschenk has been the rector of the cathedral which has liturgies in both English and Spanish.

BISHOP EDWARD MARY FITZGERALD, ADMINISTRATOR

Served the Diocese of Dallas from the end of 1892 until early 1893.

“By a timely and prudent action, especially on the part of Bishop Edward Fitzgerald of Little Rock, the property of the Diocese of Dallas was saved.”

This single line is the totality of the mentioning of Bishop Fitzgerald in the otherwise excellent centennial history of the Diocese of Dallas by the late Msgr. Tucek.

At that time, the Diocese of Dallas was only a couple of years old, having been established in 1890. It consisted of all of North Texas, today’s Dioceses of Dallas, Fort Worth, Tyler, Amarillo, and Lubbock. It included the city and territory around El Paso, though that land was not contiguous to the rest of the diocese. A few counties that went to the Diocese of Austin and later to San Angelo were also included.

Its first bishop, Thomas Brennan, was recalled to Rome and retired because of financial debts. Bishop Fitzgerald of Little Rock, while keeping the entire state of Arkansas, was also given the administrative post of the Diocese of Dallas or North Texas. He lived in Dallas at the end of 1892 and early 1893.

Who was Bishop Fitzgerald and what was his importance? He is guaranteed to be a footnote in all church history books in that he was only one of two bishops in the world that voted against the definition of infallibility at the first Vatican Council in 1870.

There was a verbal legend that Bishop Fitzgerald knelt to the pope and said, “Little Rock submits to Big rock.” Rock and Peter were the same words in the bible. It is a great story, but there is no record of such an event happening. Certainly, Bishop Fitzgerald gave his obedience.

Bishop Fitzgerald was highly respected among the American bishops. He was invited to give the opening homily at the III Baltimore Council in 1886.

While most of the bishops were favoring a Catholic school in every parish. Bishop Fitzgerald again took a minority position and said schools should be stressed but it would be impossible to have one in every parish. The parish religious education program should be the priority.

He then went home and gave his energy to establishing 32 grade schools and five high schools in his Diocese of Little Rock.

Edward Fitzgerald was born in Limerick, Ireland, in Oct. 1833, the exact date is uncertain. His family came to this country in 1849. He attended three different seminaries, three of the most famous in our country. He started at St. Mary’s in Perryville, Missouri. One of his teachers was John Lynch. Lynch had earlier been a missionary in Texas, founded the University of Niagara, was Archbishop at Ottawa, Canada, and also a participant at the first Vatican Council.

2 Fitzgerald then attended St. Mary’s of the West in Cincinnati, Ohio. He was assigned to be Pastor St. Patrick’s church in Columbus, then part of that diocese. It would be his only pastoral assignment.

He inherited a very divided parish and for ten years pulled it together. He initially turned down his appointment to the Diocese of Little Rock. He later accepted it only when he received a command to do so. He was ordained bishop on Feb. 3, 1867.

Little Rock had not had a bishop in five years, three of those years during the Civil War. The diocese included the entire state. When Bishop Fitzgerald inherited it, it only had seven priests. There were approximately 2,500 laity, most of whom had been born in foreign lands.

As if that were not enough, he was also responsible for what was then called the Indian Territory, present day Oklahoma. In 1876 an apostolic administrator was assigned to Oklahoma.

His record in Arkansas was progressive. He opened the first orphanage in the entire state. The first Catholic hospital was opened. The Holy Ghost priests came to open an industrial school for African Americans.

A railroad was one of the most progressive things that could be built in your area in those days. The one in Arkansas had trouble getting workers. Bishop Fitzgerald helped them recruit workers. They just happened to be Irish and German Catholics. Fitzgerald’s father was Irish and his mother was German.

To help these workers, the Benedictine fathers were invited to come to establish a monastery at Subiaco.

Bishop Fitzgerald took his name out of a possible appointment to two different archdioceses, New Orleans and Cincinnati. He turned down two others.

After 33 years of labor in Arkansas he had a severe stroke on Jan. 17, 1900. He became permanently feeble in 1905 and ultimately died Feb. 21, 1907 after 40 years of being a bishop.

In those 40 years, his clergy went from seven to 43, the laity from 2,500 to 10,000, the number of churches from nine to 45, the number of sisters from zero to 150, schools, grade schools, and high schools, from none to 37 and hospitals from none to two.

That was accomplished in his 40 years, in which the Catholics never numbered over one percent of Arkansas.

Bishop Fitzgerald is best known today for his negative vote at the first Vatican Council. His total life should be remembered. That includes his tour in North Texas.

Heart Speaks to the Heart 11

Auxiliary Augustine Danglmayr’s Coat of Arms

BLAZON Or, a chevron ermine, between in dexter chief a mucke sable winged of the field, encompassed by a scythe proper, in sinister chief a mullet azure and in base a heart inflamed gules, pierced by two arrows, one inverted, in saltire azure. External ornaments: Behind and surmounting the shield a Processional Cross, between a Miter and a Crosier, or; surmounting these ornaments a Pontifical Hat with six tassels on either side, disposed in rows of one, two and three, all vert. EXPLANATION The gold field of this shield is a fitting setting for the pierced heart, which is the artistic and heraldic representation of St. Augustine, whose name was given to Bishop Danglmayr in baptism. The downward arrow denotes the love of God descending to the heart of St. Augustine, and the other arrow portrays the heroic return of this love on the part of this great Doctor of the Church. The arrows also unite in saltire to form the Green letter Chi, the initial letter of Christ in Greek, to indicate the fullness of the Priesthood in which His Excellency participates as one of the successors of the Apostles. The ermine chevron is taken directly from the bordure of His Excellency, Bishop Lynch, to symbolize the close connection which Bishop Danglmayr, as Auxiliary bishop has with the Ordinary. This chevron is also fitting when one considers the length of service of His Excellency in the Diocese of Dallas and the fact that Bishop Lynch ordained him. The mucke (fly) represents the Muck family, which is that of His Excellency's mother. This charge on the shield is a good example of canting Arms, wherein the sound of the charge represents the sound of the name of the bearer. A scythe to represent the paternal side of Bishop Danglmayr's family encompasses the mucke. "Dangel," more commonly "dengel," means the edge of a scythe and is a fitting representation of His Excellency's paternal surname. This method of representing the father and mother of Bishop Danglmayr seems particularly appropriate, because it suggests an aspect of Christian marriage—the father as the guardian and protector of the family. Texas is symbolized by a star, the Heraldic appellation of which is a mullet. This is rather a common "charge" on Episcopal and Diocesan shields in Texas. The motto, "Cor ad Cor Loquitur—the Heart Speaks to the Heart," is taken from St. Augustine's famous work, "The City of God."

To Tell the Lambs of the Lamb

14

BLAZON Impaled arms. Dexter. Per fess: Gules, on a bend wavy between in chief two swords in saltire, hilts to the dexter and in base a mullet argent, three fleurs-de-lis azure (Dallas); azure, a castle argent, between the towers a trefoil or (Fort Worth). Sinister. Azure, some of escarbuncles, a lion passant argent, between two swords erect in chief and in base a pair of wings conjoined, between the tips a rose or, on a chief of the last pair of scissors open in saltire proper (Bishop Gorman). Motto: "Agni Agnos Numerare" translated "to tell the lambs of the Lamb."

SIGNIFICANCE The entire "achievement," or coat of arms as it is generally called, is composed of the shield which its charges, the motto and the external ornaments. As one looks at the shield, the terms dexter and sinister must be understood contrariwise, as the shield was worn on the arm in medieval days and these terms were used in the relationship of one behind the armor.

Since the territory formerly known as the Diocese of Dallas is now divided into two separate jurisdictions and has received, from His Holiness Pope Pius XII, the new name of the Diocese of Dallas-Fort Worth, it has seemed appropriate to design special arms for Fort Worth and to add these in the dexter impalement, given in ecclesiastical heraldry to arms of jurisdiction, beneath the present Dallas arms.

The Dallas arms in the upper dexter partition bear a red field to honor the Sacred Heart, the titular of the local Co-Cathedral of the Diocese of Dallas-Fort Worth. The diagonal waxy band, one of the heraldic expressions of water, represents the Trinity River, which flows prominently through the Diocese. The fleurs-de-lis disposed on this bend, heraldically known a band wavy, are taken from the arms of Pope Leo XIII to commemorate the fact this illustrious pontiff established the Dallas See in 1890. The number of these charges, three, has been chosen advisedly to honor the Holy Trinity for whom the river was named. Blue and white, the tinctures of the bend are Our Lady's colors to pay homage to her as patroness of the United States under the title of the Immaculate Conception.

Since the first permanent Catholic settlement in northeast Texas was named St. Paul, to which for many years the village of Dallas, some twenty miles distant, was attached as a mission, two silver swords are displayed in the upper corner (sinister chief): a sword point downwards is an attribute of St. Paul, inasmuch as it was the instrument of his martyrdom, and a word point upwards is the symbol of the militant Faith of this soldier of Christ. In the lower left corner (dexter base) the "Lone Star" from the flag of Texas, tinctured in silver, indicates the locale of Dallas in this great State. This charge is appropriate, too, since it is a common bearing on the shields of all three Bishops who have ruled the Diocese since its erection. The tinctures of the shield, red, white and blue, are our national colors and are also those of the flag of Texas.

The arms pertaining to Fort Worth in the arms of the Diocese of Dallas-Fort Worth are borne under the fess (horizontal median) line beneath those of Dallas, since Dallas is the original name of the Diocese and historically antecdent. The tinctures of this partition of the jurisdictional impalement are also blue and white (silver) but, in this instance, to commemorate the Marian Year of 1954 in which this new addition to the arms of the original diocese of Dallas have been established. The Marian colors are even more appropriate when we consider that this is the year of the Centennial of the Definition of the Doctrine of the Immaculate Conception. Heraldry is the "signum quod" by which the bearers of armorial seals make themselves known. The colors, blue and white, make known to the world that it was in this period of history that Fort Worth was added to the distinguished title of the Diocese of Dallas.

15 The arms of Fort Worth are canting arms or "armes parlantes," which bespeak the name or office of the bearer. A heraldic castle symbolizes the "Fort" in the name of the city of Fort Worth, which is the ancient symbol of a fortification. The shamrock placed between the towers of the fort refers to St. Patrick, the Apostle of Ireland and the titular of the local Co-Cathedral. The arms of Fort Worth are simple in charges and tinctures in accordance with the best norms of medieval heraldry, when a knight with closed visor had to be recognized on a rapidly moving horse. Reason for simplicity exists in our own times because the arms of the Bishops and Dioceses are frequently reduced to extremely small sizes to accommodate themselves to rings and seals, which cannot afford to be anything but minute.

The coat of arms in the sinister is given by custom in prelatical heraldry to the coat of arms of the Ordinary, His Excellency, the Most Reverend Thomas K. Gorman. The Irish Gorman arms consist of a blue field charged with a silver lion passant between three like-tinctured swords erect.

The shield has been differenced by the addition of silver escarbuncles, because of their resemblance to snowflakes, that "Our Lady of the Snows," patroness of the Diocese of Reno, of which Bishop Gorman was formerly the Ordinary before his appointment to Dallas, might be represented. The escarbuncle consisting of an annulet in the center from which issue eight scepters with fleurs-de-lis on the ends, quite fortuitously afford a beautiful symbolism of the Blessed Virgin, apart from that of "Our Lady of the Snows;" the scepter betokens Our Lady as Queen of Heaven, and the fleur-de-lis, the French form of the lily, is the ancient symbol of her Virginity.

Two of the Gorman family swords have been retained in chief, but for the sword in base there has been substituted a rose, between the tips of an angel's wings, from the coat of arms of Bishop Gorman's native Archdiocese of Los Angeles, where he spent many years of his priesthood. Los Angeles was named on August 2, 1769, "Nuestra Senora la Reina de los Angeles" – "Our Lady Queen of the Angels" by Father Juan Crespi. The rose is the symbol of Our Lady as the Mystical Rose and the angel's wings have an obvious meaning. Within the territory of this Archdiocese is St. Andrew's Church, Pasadena, California, where the Bishop was born.

The scissors on the golden field in the chief (upper compartment) is a symbol of the fourth estate, the newspaper world, and refers to Bishop Gorman's life work in the Catholic newspaper field. For many years Bishop Gorman was Episcopal Chairman of the Press Department of the National Catholic Welfare Conference.

The motto "Agni Agnos Numerare" is translated "to tell the lambs of the Lamb." To count and keep track of the lambs of Christ is the province and duty of the ecclesiastical shepherds, the Apostles and their successors, whom Christ commanded, "Feed my lambs" (John 21:15).

The external ornaments are composed of the green pontifical hat with its six tassels on each side disposed in three rows, and the precious mitre, the processional cross and the crosier, all in gold. These are the presently accepted heraldic trappings of a prelate of the rank of Bishop. Before 1870, the pontifical hat was worn at solemn cavalcades held in conjunction with papal functions. The color of the pontifical hat and the number and color of the tassels were signs of the rank of the prelate, a custom that is still preserved in ecclesiastical heraldry.

It should be realized that the apparent complication of this shield as a whole does not inhere in any single partition, each of which is reasonably simple, but arises solely from the heraldic need of showing Bishop Gorman's several dignities.

Bishop Thomas Ambrose Tschoepe

My Heart is Ready 21

Blazon Imapled arms. Dexter: Gules, on a bend wavy between in chief two swords in saltire, hilts to the dexter, and in base a mullet argent, three fleurs-de-lis azure (Diocese of Dallas). Sinister: Azure, a pecan tree issuing from a demi-sin rayonnat or, a horseshoe surmounting the trunk argent, accosted by two mullets of the same, the foliage charged with an antique crown gules (Bishop Tschoepe). Motto: "Paratum Cor Meum" or translated "My Heart is Ready."

Significance The entire "achievement," or coat of arms as it is generally called, is composed of the shield with its charges, the motto and the external ornaments. As one looks at the shield, the terms dexter and sinister must be understood contrariwise, as the shield was worn on the arm in medieval days and these terms were used in the relationship of one behind the shield.

The dexter impalement on the left to the viewer displays the coat of arms of the Diocese of Dallas.

The Dallas arms bear a red field to honor the Sacred Heart, the titular of the Cathedral of the Diocese of Dallas. The diagonal wavy band, one of the heraldic expressions of water, represents the Trinity River, which flows prominently through the diocese. The fleurs-de-lis disposed on this band, heraldically known as a bend wavy, are taken from the arms of Pope Leo XIII to commemorate the fact that this illustrious pontiff established the Dallas See in 1890. The number of these charges, three, has been chosen advisedly to honor the Holy Trinity for whom the river was named. Blue and white, the tinctures of the bend are Our Lady's colors to pay homage to her as patroness of the United States under the title of the Immaculate Conception.

Since the first permanent Catholic settlement in northeast Texas was named St. Paul, to which for many years the village of Dallas, some twenty miles distant, was attached as a mission, two silver swords are displayed in the upper right corner. A sword point downwards is an attribute to St. Paul, inasmuch as it was the instrument of his martyrdom, and a sword point upwards is the symbol of the militant Faith of this soldier of Christ. In the lower left corner the "Lone Star" from the flag of Texas, tinctured in silver, indicates the locale of Dallas in this great State. This charge is appropriate, too, since it is a common bearing on the shields of all of the Bishops who have been Shepherds of the diocese since its erection. The tinctures of the shield, red, white and blue, are our national colors and are also those of the flag of Texas.

The sinister impalement on the right to the viewer displays the personal coat of arms of Bishop Tschoepe. By joining these arms to the diocesan impalement on the same shield, the spiritual union of a Bishop with his See, also symbolized by the Episcopal ring, is heralded.

The coat of arms of the Tschoepe family, also known as Szczepanski in eastern Prussia, is composed of a blue field bearing a gold palm tree with a silver horseshoe covering the trunk of the tree, which bears on either side a silver star of six points.

This basic coat of arms has been retained but somewhat differenced to make it peculiar to the Bishop, by custom in ecclesiastical or prelatical heraldry. For instance, the stars at either side of the tree trunk have been changed from six points to five points that the star of Texas on the state seal might be displayed to commemorate the birth of the Bishop in Pilot Point, Texas. The tree, too, has been altered to a pecan tree because this is that state tree of Texas.

The antique crown charged on the tree is at once the symbol of the meaning of the name of the Bishop in the Greek language (Stephanos—crown), and a mark of honor to the family of the Bishop's mother. The Sloan family bears a lion rampant crowned with an antique crown on its shield. 22

The gold sun in the base is the revered symbol of Saint Thomas Aquinas, the angelic Doctor of the Church, the baptismal patron of Bishop Tschoepe.

The motto, "Paratum Cor Meum," (Psalm 107:2) is translated "My heart is ready." A motto briefly expresses an ideal, a program of life, and the spirit of the one who selects it.

The external ornaments are composed of the pontifical hat, with its six tassels on each side, disposed in three rows, all in green, and the espiscopal cross tinctured in gold. These are the heraldic insignia of the rank of Bishop by the Instruction of the Holy See on April 17, 1969. Before 1870, the pontifical hot was worn at solemn cavalcades held in conjunction with papal functions. The color of the pontifical hat and the number and color of the tassels were signs of the rank of a prelate, a custom that is still preserved in ecclesiastical heraldry.

BISHOP CHARLES VICTOR GRAHMANN

Native of Hallettsville, Texas, a small rural community that lies halfway between San Antonio and Houston; settled by Germans and Czechs during the 1800's. He was born there, a second generation German, on July 15, 193 1, the fourth child in a family of eleven children, six boys and five girls, of Mr. and Mrs. Nicholas A. Grahmann, who resided in that rural community on a small farm. His mother died in August of 1986 and his father followed her in January of 1988. He spent the early years of his life on the farm where his family lived, trying to make a living by cultivating and harvesting the usual crops of cotton and corn.

After graduation from Sacred Heart Elementary School in Hallettsville, he enrolled in St. John's Seminary in San Antonio in 1945. He completed his philosophical and theological studies at Assumption Seminary.

On March 17, 1956 he was ordained to the priesthood by the late Archbishop Robert E. Lucey, in San Fernando Cathedral in San Antonio.

His assignments took him to St. James Church in San Antonio from April to September 1956, September 1956 to June 1961; he was associate pastor at St. Joseph's Church in Yoakum, Texas with special assignment to the mission church of Santa Anna and the Mexican community of that area. June 1961 to August 1964, he was associate pastor of St. Paul's Church in San Antonio.

In 1964 he was appointed Priest-Secretary to Archbishop Robert E. Lucey and retained that position until Archbishop Lucey retired in 1969. In May of 1968, he received his Masters in Education from Our Lady of the Lake University in San Antonio. In 1969 Archbishop Francis J. Furey reappointed him as his Priest- Secretary. He retained this post until the death of Archbishop Furey.

In 1964, Archbishop Lucey appointed him Diocesan Director of Catholic Relief Services, the United States Catholic Church's agency to assist the poor and hungry of the world in foreign lands. Year round he directed appeals for these worldwide needs. When "Operation Rice Bowl" was established to deal with global hunger, he created the "Rice Bag" which passed through the hands of worshippers on the Sundays of Lent, receiving offerings for the hungry of the world. In 1969 he was sent on a mission to Latin American on behalf of Catholic Relief Services, returning there in 1972 to visit the personnel and projects sponsored by this agency.

In 1964 he initiated Project Equality in the Archdiocese, a program whereby Church monies were not necessarily spent on the least expensive goods or services available, but was determined by the employment practices of the firm from which they were purchased. He extended Project Equality to an ecumenical effort and finally a statewide program.

In 1969 he was appointed Diocesan Director of the Campaign for Human Development, an agency of the American Catholic Church to address the root causes of poverty within the United States. The responsibility of this office was to raise issues of justice and explore the causes of poverty, discrimination, etc. Annually funds were collected which funded grassroots efforts to bring people out of poverty and injustice through institutional change of systems which keep people in the cycle of poverty.

From March 1970 until February 1980, he additionally served as Pastor of St. Gregory the Great Parish in San Antonio. In 1980 he served as Pastor of St. Joseph's Church, downtown San Antonio.

In 1970 his efforts helped to bring a grassroots community organization to San Antonio directed toward empowering people to gain a voice in their community, effecting change and bettering the quality of their lives.

In 1975 he created the Human Development Office for the archdiocese, the channeling, agency for efforts on behalf of human development, social justice concerns and peace. The office was the center for a network of liaisons with multiple activities on behalf of the poor of the archdiocese.

24 He was also Archdiocesan Director of Catholic Cemeteries from 1964 to 1981, and President of the National Catholic Cemetery Conference from 1972 to 1974, Archdiocesan Director of the Stewardship Council and served as President of the National Catholic Stewardship Council from 1971 to 1974, Board Member of the National Conference of Diocesan Fiscal Managers, Board Member of the National Council of Project Equality and headed the Archdiocesan Business Office.

In 1979 Archbishop Patrick Flores reassigned him as his Priest- Secretary until he was appointed Vicar General of the Archdiocese of San Antonio in 1980.

For ten years, in addition to his other duties, he held the post of Pastor of St. Gregory the Great Parish in San Antonio, getting it involved in a support system of a diocese in Northern Honduras. He was instrumental in raising funds to purchase a school bus for the major seminary in Guatemala City and joined a group to deliver the bus.

During the ten years at St. Gregory's, he initiated a program of preparing men for the priesthood, men who were older than the normal seminary age. They lived and worked in the parish community while doing the required studies for the priesthood. From this experience, five men were ordained to the priesthood.

While pastor at St. Joseph's, downtown, he opened Fatima Center on the near Eastside, to minister to the poor and needy in that area, getting involved in the multiple physical needs of the people who live in that barrio.

In June, 1981, he was appointed Titular Bishop of Equlio, Auxiliary to the Archbishop of San Antonio. On May 29, 1982, he was installed as Bishop of Victoria in Texas. In 1984, he was elected National Chaplain, Catholic Daughters of the Americas.

Have the Mind of Jesus

Bishop Joseph Anthony Galante’s Coat of Arms

BLAZON Arms impaled. Dexter: Azure upon a mount issuant from base. Or, a vase of the same charged with a Chi-Rho Gules; all below a star between two roses all Argent. Sinister: Azure, at the honor point a Latin cross Argent, interlaced at the center a roundel Or, at the nombril point a carpenter's square of the last, to dexter the crossed keys of St. Peter, Proper, and to sinister a star of the second.

SIGNIFICANCE The Episcopal heraldic achievement, or as it is more commonly known, the bishop's coat of arms, is composed of a shield, with its charges (symbols), a motto scroll and the external ornaments. The shield, which is the central and most important feature of any heraldic device, is described (blazoned) in 12th century terms, that is archaic to our modern language. This description is given as if being done by the bearer with the shield being worn on the arm. Thus, it must be remembered that the terms dexter and sinister are reversed as the device is viewed from the front.

By heraldic tradition, the arms of the bishop of a diocese, called "the local bishop" or "the local Ordinary," are joined (impaled) with the arms of his diocese. In this case these are the arms of the Diocese of Beaumont.

The background of these arms are a blue field on which is seen, issuing from the base of the shield, a beautiful golden (yellow) hill to cant, or "play-on" the name of the See City of Beaumont: "beautiful hill." On this hill is a golden (yellow) vase that is charged with the Greek letters "X" (Chi) and "P" (Rho), in red. This vase is to signify an oil vial, such as would be used to store the Sacred Oils that are used in the administration of the Sacraments. It is through such oils, blessed from above, that are a means by which salvation is dispensed to God's holy people. The vase also refers to the vast reserves of oil that constitute the basis for the region's best known industry.

Above the vase is a silver (white) star between two silver (white) roses. The star is taken from the flag and the seal of the great State of Texas, "The Lone Star State," and the roses are taken from the arms of the Diocese of Galveston-Houston from which the Diocese of Beaumont was erected in 1966.

For his personal arms, His Excellency, Bishop Galante has retained the design that was adopted at the time of his selection to be an Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of San Antonio and reflects his life as a priest and bishop.

The background of the shield, known as the field, is blue; this color is used to honor the Blessed Virgin Mary, Mother of us all. At the upper center of the design, called the "honor point," is a silver (white) cross with a gold ring (roundel) interlaced with the arms of the cross. This is a special symbol to signify the Bishop's service to consecrated life (religious life, secular institutes) for nearly twenty-four years. The gold (yellow) ring signifies the band that is worn by those in consecrated life which is used to signify that they are committed to Christ by profession of the evangelical counsels of chastity, poverty and obedience. That ring is intertwined around the cross to recall the admonition that all of us, and

31 consecrated persons in particular, are called to take up our cross and carry it daily in the following of Christ. At the bottom center point, called the "nombril point," is a gold carpenter's square to honor His Excellency's baptism patron, St. Joseph.

In the left side of the field (center dexter) are the crossed keys of St. Peter, one silver and one in gold (blazoned as Proper, or as they always appear) to signify the Bishop's service to the Holy See and to the Holy Father, in Rome, as Undersecretary in the Congregation for Institutes of Consecrated Life and Societies of Apostolic Life. On the other side of the shield (center sinister) is a silver star taken from the arms of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, Bishop Gal ante's home diocese, but here it is also used to signify Texas, and especially San Antonio, where His Excellency was called to serve in the fullness of Christ's most holy priesthood as bishop.

For the motto, His Excellency, Bishop Galante has selected the phrase "HAVE THE MIND OF JESUS." This phrase is a brief variation but which carries the same meaning as the 5th verse of the 2nd Chapter of St. Paul's Epistle to the Philippians, which reads: "In your minds you must be the same as Christ Jesus." By the use of this phrase His Excellency, Bishop Galante expresses his firm belief that each of us, as followers of Jesus Christ must have our minds, our attitudes and our lives totally in conformity with the life and teachings and person of Our Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ.

The device is completed with the external ornaments which are a gold processional cross, which is placed in back of the shield and extending above and below the shield, and a pontifical hat, called a "gallero," with its six tassels, in three rows, on either side of the shield, all in green. These are the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop by instruction of the Holy See of March 31, 1969.

(Paul J. Sullivan, President – P. SULLIVAN & CO., 34 Cliff Drive, Anawan Cliff, Narragansett, Rhode Island 02882 designed this Coat of Arms.)

BISHOP KEVIN JOSEPH FARRELL

Most Reverend Bishop Kevin Joseph Farrell was appointed Seventh Bishop of Dallas on March 6, 2007 by Pope Benedict XVI. He was installed as Bishop of Dallas May 1, 2007, succeeding Bishop Charles V. Grahmann who served as Sixth Bishop of Dallas from July 1990 until his resignation in July, 2007.

Bishop Kevin Joseph Farrell was born in Dublin, Ireland in September 1947. The second of four boys, he graduated from the Irish Christian Brothers High School in Drimnagh, Dublin. He entered the novitiate of the Legionnaires of Christ in 1966 and received an M.A. in Philosophy and an S.T.L. in Theology after studies in Rome.

After being ordained to the priesthood in Rome on December 24, 1978, then-Father Farrell was assigned to be the chaplain for the University of Monterrey in Mexico. While there, he conducted seminars in bioethics and social ethics.

Bishop Farrell first visited the United States in 1967 while raising funds for the missions of Latin America through the Propagation of the Faith. His first assignment in the Archdiocese of Washington was as associate pastor at St. Peter, Olney in 1984. He then served at St. Bartholomew in Bethesda and St. Thomas the Apostle in Washington, DC.

In 1986, he was chosen by Cardinal James A. Hickey to be the director of the Spanish Catholic Center, an agency of the Archdiocese of Washington that primarily serves the Hispanic community and new immigrants through legal assistance, education, employment assistance and health care. In 1987, Bishop Farrell also became assistant executive director of Catholic Charities and then was named the interim director in 1988.

From 1989 to March 2001, he served as Secretary of Finance for the Archdiocese of Washington. He was named a Prelate of Honor, with the title of Monsignor, in 1995 by Pope John Paul II.

From October 2000 to March 2002, he was pastor of Annunciation parish in Northwest Washington, DC. Since March 2001, he has served as vicar general and moderator of the curia for the Archdiocese of Washington. He was ordained an auxiliary bishop in Washington, DC on February 11, 2002.

Bishop Kevin Joseph Farrell

Steadfast in Faith 34 Bishop Kevin Joseph Farrell’s Coat of Arms

Blazon:

Per fess Or and Azure, a lion rampant per fess Gules and Or, standing on a mound of rock Argent.

Significance: The Arms of Bishop Kevin J. Farrell display a lion rampant to honor Theodore Cardinal McCarrick, Archbishop of Washington, and the Irish sept of O’Farrell.

The dexter impalement on the left to the viewer displays the coat of arms of the Diocese of Dallas.

The Dallas arms bear a red field to honor the Sacred Heart, the titular of the Cathedral of the Diocese of Dallas. The diagonal wavy band, one of the heraldic expressions of water, represents the Trinity River, which flows prominently through the diocese. The fleurs-de-lis disposed on this band, heraldically known as a bend wavy, are taken from the arms of Pope Leo XIII to commemorate the fact that this illustrious pontiff established the Dallas See in 1890. The number of these charges, three, has been chosen advisedly to honor the Holy Trinity for whom the river was named. Blue and white, the tinctures of the bend are Our Lady's colors to pay homage to her as patroness of the United States under the title of the Immaculate Conception.

Since the first permanent Catholic settlement in northeast Texas was named St. Paul, to which for many years the village of Dallas, some twenty miles distant, was attached as a mission, two silver swords are displayed in the upper right corner. A sword point downwards is an attribute to St. Paul, inasmuch as it was the instrument of his martyrdom, and a sword point upwards is the symbol of the militant Faith of this soldier of Christ. In the lower left corner the "Lone Star" from the flag of Texas, tinctured in silver, indicates the locale of Dallas in this great State. This charge is appropriate, too, since it is a common bearing on the shields of all of the Bishops who have been Shepherds of the diocese since its erection. The tinctures of the shield, red, white and blue, are our national colors and are also those of the flag of Texas.

In the upper portion of the shield, gold (yellow) and the lion (red) are derived from the Arms of Cardinal McCarrick, whom Bishop Farrell assists as an auxiliary bishop. The lower portion of the lion in gold (yellow) derives from the Irish sept of O’Farrell. In this instance, blue has been substituted for the green of the O’Farrell Arms, to honor Our Lady of Lourdes, upon whose feast Bishop Farrell received ordination in the episcopate at the hands of the Cardinal Archbishop of Washington.

In the base of the shield is a silver (white) mound of rock, symbolic of Bishop Farrell’s patron, Saint Kevin (d.c. 618). After ordination Saint Kevin settled as a hermit at Glendalough (Co. Wicklow, Ireland), in a cave called "St. Kevin’s Bed" formerly a Bronze Age rock tomb.

The motto, STATE IN FIDE, "Steadfast in Faith," is from Saint Paul’s epistle to the Colossians 1:23, and complements the rock mound and the lion who holds an honorable position in biblical history.

Behind the Arms is placed a gold (yellow) processional cross and ensigning the whole achievement is a pontifical hat with its six tassels on each side, disposed in three rows, all in green. These are the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of a bishop in accordance with the Instruction of the Holy See, dated 31 March, 1969. Before 1870, the pontifical hat was worn at solemn cavalcades held in conjunction with papal ceremonies. The color of the hat and the number of tassels were signs of the rank of the prelate, a custom still preserved in ecclesiastical heraldry. The Arms were devised by A.W.C. Phelps, Cleveland, Ohio in consultation with The Most Reverend Kevin J. Farrell, D.D., V.G. 35

He expressed concern for immigrant families who fear separation and for law enforcement officers who "put their lives on the line to stem the flow of weapons and drugs" but are "troubled in conscience by divisive political rhetoric and new edicts coming from Washington, D.C." He condemned profit-based immigrant detention centers, the hostility shown to asylum seekers, and "the disparagement of our Muslim brothers and sisters".

Bishop Mark Joseph Seitz

My Heart is Ready

38

Bishop Mark Seitz's Coat of Arms

When a priest is named to the office of Bishop he is given a number of tasks that have the value of inviting him to reflect upon his identity and his goals. He has to choose a motto and develop a shield or coat of arms. When an Auxiliary Bishop is named as the bishop of a diocese, he then has the opportunity to revise his coat of arms to include the crest of the diocese he has been called to serve. I have chosen the motto, “Paratum cor meum”, “My heart is ready”. This phrase is found in two psalms, both Psalm 57 and Psalm 108. The phrase reflects the steadfastness and the unfettered responsiveness to the will of God I would like to cultivate in my life. The motto is at the same time a homage to Bishop Thomas Tschoepe who chose this as his motto. He was a very important mentor and model in my life.

Looking to the rest of the shield, there is more here than I am even capable of explaining, but I would like to give you a little summary of the basic symbols on the crest:

1. On the left side of the coat of arms you will find elements of the shield of the Diocese of El Paso. The blue and white honor Our Lady under the title of the Immaculate Conception, Patroness of the United States. The wavy border symbolizes the Rio Grande River. In the diocesan crest the river surrounds the “Ysleta”, or little island, which was the first name of El Paso. 2. The two long triangular forms represent the mountains that form the pass for which our diocese is named. They are topped by trefoils, otherwise known as shamrocks. These, along with the triangular mountains, both invoke the Trinity which is at the foundation of our Faith. The shamrocks are also a homage to the patron of our Cathedral, St. Patrick. 3. The star above the lower image is both a remembrance of the Lone Star for which our State is named and the North Star, a reference to the full early name of “El Paso del Norte”. Of course, for us Christians, the North Star is also Christ who orients us and points us to our true home in heaven. 4. In the upper left-hand corner is an anchor. This anchor is taken from the coat of arms of St. Pope Pius X, who created our diocese. Interestingly, the anchor, called the “Anchor of Hope”, was found in my original crest. It was a symbol adopted by an ancestor of mine named Roger Williams, a Baptist minister who founded Rhode Island, the first colony to enshrine the principle of religious liberty and freedom of conscience. I hope, also, to be effective in working with people of other faiths and to be a contributor to the good of our nation.

Now to the right side of the shield:

1. Beginning at the upper left, the red rose is the "Rose for Life". I wanted some symbol of my commitment to the Gospel of Life, which is really an expression of my concern that the dignity of human life be respected at all of its stages from conception to natural death. 2. The trefoil (shamrock) speaks to my Irish heritage, to the importance of teaching the Faith, and, of course, harkens back to St. Patrick, one of our Faith’s most effective missionaries. 3. The pattern dividing the upper and lower parts of the crest is intended to honor the Native American heritage that I share and my desire to serve our first Americans. 4. The winged lion is the symbol for St. Mark the Evangelist. St. Mark is, of course, my patron. I hope to imitate him in his service of the Apostles Peter and Paul and in his ability to effectively translate the Faith to those who needed to hear the message of salvation. The lion also happens to be a symbol of Bavaria, in southern Germany, from whence my father’s ancestors hailed.

41 The love of Christ Urges Me

Bishop John Douglas Deshotel's Coat of Arms

The upper portion is blue, white and red, with a white star on the blue field which is the arrangement of the Acadian flag, indicating that His Excellency is of Cajun roots in Lafayette, Louisiana. The Acadians, of French heritage, fled Canada in the mid-1700’s and settled in southern Louisiana.

On the red portion of the tricolors is a fleur-de-lis to represent the deep French connections of the Acadians.

In the lower portion of the design is a green field with a pelican, feeding her brood with blood from her own breast. This symbolism, known as a “pelican in her piety” is a classic representation of southern Louisiana.

For his motto, His Excellency Bishop Deshotel has selected the Latin phrase, “CHRISTUS CARITAS URGET ME.” In the phrase, His Excellency Bishop Deshotel express his profound belief that it is “Christ’s love that urges him on.”

The achievement in completed by the external ornamentation which are a gold (yellow) processional cross, that is placed in back of the shield and which extends above and below the shield, and the pontifical hat, called a “galero,” with its six tassels in three rows on either side ofthe shield, all in green. These are the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop, by instruction of The Holy See, of March 31, 1969.

43 Auxiliary Bishop John Gregory Kelly

Take Courage

44 Bishop John Gregory Kelly’s Coat of Arms

Blazon:

Argent, upon a chevron Azure two estoiles of the first; between to chief dexter a fleur-de-lis and to chief sinister a trefoil and to base a star, all of the second.

Significance:

The episcopal heraldic achievement, or bishop’s coat of arms, is composed of a shield, which is the central and most important part of the design and tells to whom the design belongs, the external ornamentation, which tells the owner’s position or rank, and a motto, placed upon a scroll. By heraldic tradition the design is described (blazoned) as if being done by the bearer with the shield being worn on the arm. Thus, where it applies the terms “sinister” and “dexter” are reversed as the design is viewed from the front. For the bishop who is without jurisdiction, as an Auxiliary Bishop, the entire shield of his design is given over to his personal arms. Bishop Kelly’s arms are based on the Kelly family design where the shield is silver (white) and the charges (symbols) are black. For difference, and for his deep devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the chevron is now blue. The chevron is reminiscent of the mountains of Colorado, so dear to His Excellency’s youth and the chevron is charged with two estoiles (special, six pointed stars) that are taken from the mantle of the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe to remind all of the profound Hispanic influence in Texas, the “Lone Star State“, represented by the single star below the chevron. Above the chevron are a fleur-de-lis and a trefoil (the heraldic representation of a shamrock) to honor the Bishop’s Irish and French-Canadian heritage. For his motto, His Excellency, Bishop Kelly has adopted the phrase “TAKE COURAGE,” taken from the words of Jesus to the disciples as he walking towards them on the water (Mt. 14: 27): “Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid.” It is also the essence of the Archangel Gabriel‘s words to Mary at the Annunciation. In this phrase, His Excellency expresses that it is by God’s Strength that we have the courage to live as Christ has called us. Through the intercession of Mary we receive the grace to keep our eyes on the Lord and on the path he love leads us on. The achievement is completed with the external ornaments that are a gold (yellow) processional cross, that extends above and below the shield, and for Bishop Kelly is charged with the interlocking Irish knot-like loops, in red, to honor the Most Holy Trinity, and to recall his formation for priesthood at the seminary of that name on the campus of the University of Dallas in Irving, TX; There is also a pontifical hat, called a galero, with its six tassels, in three rows, on either side of the shield, all in green. These are the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop by instruction of the Holy See, of March 1969. Text and Coat of Arms by: Deacon Paul J. Sullivan

Pray With Confidence

49 Bishop Edward J. Burns’ Coat of Arms

In according to the Roman Catholic Church heraldic tradition, the Coat of Arms of a Bishop is normally composed by:

• a shield with its charges (symbols) coming from family, geographic, religious and historical meanings and/or referred to the name of the Bishop; • a golden processional cross, with one traversal bar, to represent the rank of the Bishop, “impaled” (vertically) behind the shield; • a green hat (galero) with 12 (six on each side) attached tassels, ordained 1; 2; 3; from the top; • a scroll with the motto, written in black, below everything. Here it has been chosen a samnitic shape shield, frequently used in Roman Catholic Church heraldry and a botonny processional cross with five red stones to represent the Five Wounds of Christ. Motto - “PRAY WITH CONFIDENCE ”

For his motto Bishop Burns has chosen the familiar words from the liturgy that so often serve as an invitation to prayer and they reflect the words of the Apostle and Evangelist John encouraging believers to be confident that the Lord will hear us when we pray:

“And we have this confidence in him, that if we ask anything according to his will, he hears us. And if we know that he hears us in regard to whatever we ask, we know that what we have asked him for is ours.” 1 John 5:14-15

It also reflects the passage in the Gospel of Luke, known as the gospel of prayer, where Jesus teaches his disciples to pray:

“And I tell you, ask and you will receive; seek and you will find; knock and the door will be opened to you. For everyone who asks, receives; and the one who seeks, finds; and to the one who knocks, the door will be opened.” Luke 11:9-10 Blazonry (heraldic description) of the Coat of Arms “Impaled. Dexter: Gules, on a fess per bend wavy Argent three fleurs-de-lis Azure; in the sinister chief two crossed swords of the second, in the dexter base a mullet of the same; sinister: per bend sinister of the third and Or, a seven points star encircled by a rosary of the same in the dexter chief and a bugle-horn Sable, stringed of the first in the sinister base; three wavy barrulets of the third in base, thereupon a fishnet of the fifth” Interpretation In the right side of the shield (in the heraldic shield, right and left are exchanged from the observer point of view since we have to consider the right and the left of the soldier who holds his own shield) we find represented the Coat of Arms of the Diocese of Dallas; it has a red (Gules) field in honor of the Sacred Heart of Jesus. The diagonal white bend represents the Trinity River located within the diocese (the placement of the bend, from top left to bottom right, somewhat resembles the northwest-southeast direction the river takes through the state). The fleurs-de-lis within the bend are in honor of Pope Leo XIII (who was Pope when the diocese was established) and are taken from his coat of arms. The fleur-de-lis is repeated three times to represent the Holy Trinity.

50 The solitary star represents Dallas and also pays tribute to Texas' nickname, "The Lone Star State". The two swords honor St. Paul, who is the patron saint of the first Catholic settlement in Northeast Texas. In the left side there is the personal Coat of Arms of Bishop Burns: this part of the shield is divided in two colours: the blue (Azure) symbolizes the separation from the worldly values and the ascent of the soul toward God, therefore the run of the Celestial Virtues which raise themselves from the things of the earth toward the sky. On this field we can see a star enclosed in a rosary, in honour of Our Lady of the Rosary whose feast is on October 7th, day of birth of Bishop Burns, while the last part of the shield is coloured in gold (Or), the most noble metal, symbol then of the first Virtue, the Faith: indeed, is due to Faith that Bishop Burns became a “fisher of men”, a service he has till now developed as a priest, a vocation director, Rector of the Seminary of Pittsburgh and as Bishop; the net recalls opportunely the Lord’s charge to St. Peter to be a “fisher of men” and the importance of this ministry in the Diocese of Dallas. The black (Sable) horn, in heraldic shape, comes from the coat of arms of the Burns family and the three waves of water in blue (azure) want to remind the three rivers of the Diocese of Pittsburgh, where Bishop Burns comes from.
