It is a symbol of his authority and jurisdicon. The origin of the pastoral staff is associated with the shepherd’s crook. It is employed by a bishop whenever he performs solemn liturgical funcons, by right in his own diocese. Mitre T The mitre is worn by a bishop as a mark of his office and a symbol of his authority. The mitre is presented to the bishop during the Rite of Ordinaon of a Bishop. The proper color of a mitre is always white. The mitre is disnguished from other episcopal vestments in that it is always laid aside when the bishop prays at Mass. Episcopal Ring T The bishop’s ring is a sign of his faithfulness and bond with the Church. It is presented to him at his ordinaon and worn at all mes as a visible sign of his apostolic ministry. The material and style of the ring are of the bishop’s choice. Pectoral Cross T The pectoral cross is worn on the chest, usually suspended from the neck by a cord or chain. In ancient and medieval mes pectoral crosses were worn by both clergy and laity, but by the end of the Middle Ages the pectoral cross came to be a special indicator of posion worn by bishops. Zuccheo T The zuccheo, also known as a skullcap, is typically worn by a bishop. It originally protected head bared by the tonsure, a hairstyle in which the center of the scalp was shaved as a sign of humility and piety. It is worn under the mitre, but removed at the Eucharisc Prayer so that the bishop’s head is uncovered in the presence of the Blessed Sacrament. 4 ST MATTHEW CATHOLIC CHURCH | CORPUS CHRISTI PARISH BISHOP WILLIAM KEONIG COAT OF ARMS Heraldic Achievement of MOST REVEREND WILLIAM E. KOENIG Tenth Bishop of Wilmington Gules, crusilly boony fitchy argent, a lion rampant Or, impaling per fess azure and vert, a wolf passant reguardant argent collared and lined Or behind a lamb couchant of the last, in chief a dove volant recursant descendant in pale argent and issuant from the base an olive branch septupleRfructed Or. Designing his shieldVthe central element in what is formally called the heraldic achievementVa bishop has an opportunity to depict symbolically aspects of his life and heritage, and elements of the Catholic faith that are important to him. Every coat of arms also includes external elements that idenfy the rank of the bearer. The formal descripon of a coat of arms, known as the blazon, uses a technical jargon, derived from French and English terms, that allows the appearance and posion of each element to be recorded precisely. A diocesan bishop shows his commitment to the flock he shepherds by combining his personal coat of arms with that of the diocese, in a technique known as impaling. The shield is divided in half along the pale or central vercal line. The arms of the diocese appear on the dexter side V that is, on the side of the shield to the viewer’s le , which would cover the right side (in Lan, dextera) of the person carrying the shield. The arms of the bishop are on the sinister side V the bearer’s le , the viewer’s right. The arms of the Diocese of Wilmington were designed in 1926. They are based on the arms of Roger la Warr (died 1370), third Baron de la Warr, who bore Gules, crusilly and a lion rampant argent (a red shield strewn with white crosses, bearing a white lion). Thomas West, twel h Baron de la Warr, also called “Lord Delaware,” served as governor of the Jamestown Colony from 1610 to 1618. The Delaware River and Delaware Bay were named for him, which in turn gave their name to the Nave American tribe that dwelled in the area, and to the colony of Delaware when it was established in 1704. The white lion of the arms of the Barons de la Warr was recolored gold (Or) for the diocesan arms, recalling the arms of Pope Pius IX (reigned 1846R1878), who erected the Diocese of Wilmington in 1868. In addion to the three counes of the State of Delaware, the new diocese also comprised nine counes in the State of Maryland, as well as Accomack and Northampton Counes on the Eastern Shore of Virginia (which became part of the Diocese of Richmond in 1974). To commemorate the Maryland part of the diocese, the crosses from the arms of the Barons de la Warr were modified so that their three upper ends terminate in small rounded crosses (boony), and the lower end terminates in a point (fitchy). Crosses boony appear in the arms of Cecil Calvert, second Baron Balmore (1605R1675), the founding proprietor of the Maryland colony in 1632. 5 ST MATTHEW CATHOLIC CHURCH | CORPUS CHRISTI PARISH Bishop Koenig’s arms comprise a scene that is both personal and scriptural. The shield is divided horizontally and painted blue and green, creang a field on which are depicted a lamb, painted gold, and a wolf, painted white. The lamb is a symbol of Saint Agnes, the patroness of the Diocese of Rockville Centre (New York), where the Bishop grew up and where he has served as a priest since his ordinaon in 1983. (In Lan, the name of the saint sounds like the word for lamb, agnus.) The Bishop served as parochial vicar of Saint Agnes Cathedral in Rockville Centre (1996R2000) and later as its rector (2009R2020). The Bishop’s bapsmal patron saint, William of Vercelli (also known as William of Montevergine and William the Abbot; 1085R1142), is also the patron saint of the parish in Seaford, New York, where the Bishop first served as a pastor (2000R2009). St William was known to have worked many miracles, the most famous of which was the taming of a wolf. When he discovered that the beast had hunted and killed the donkey on which he relied for tasks around the monastery, St William commanded the wolf to take over the donkey’s labors. This story is o en recalled in art, parcularly St William’s statue in Saint Peter’s Basilica, in which a wolf rests at his feet. The wolf is depicted here as collared and lined, further stressing his tame nature, yet he keeps watch over the lamb, as a bishop ought to keep close watch over the flock entrusted to his care (cf.
