Reading
Ephesians 4:1-7, 11-13
I, a prisoner for the Lord, urge you to live in a manner worthy of the call you have received, with all humility and gentleness, with patience, bearing with one another through love, striving to preserve the unity of the Spirit through the bond of peace: one Body and one Spirit, as you were also called to the one hope of your call; one Lord, one faith, one baptism; one God and Father of all, who is over all and through all and in all. But grace was given to each of us according to the measure of Christ’s gift. And he gave some as Apostles, others as prophets, others as evangelists, others as pastors and teachers, to equip the holy ones for the work of ministry, for building up the Body of Christ, until we all attain to the unity of faith 11
and knowledge of the Son of God, to mature manhood, to the extent of the full stature of Christ. The word of the Lord. All:
Thanks be to God.

The Coat of Arms of His Excellency The Most Reverend Joseph M. Siegel, D.D., S.T.L. Sixth Bishop of Evansville
Blazon: Arms impaled. Argent, in base two barlets wavy Azure; Upon a chief embattled of the second a crescent of the first. Sinister: Party per chevron Gules and Azure; to chief dexter a rose and to chief sinister a Lion rampant combatant both Argent; in base a Moline Cross below and between two fleur-de-lis Or.
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, a scroll with a motto and the external ornamentation. The design is described (blazoned) as if the description was being given by the bearer (from behind) with the shield being worn on the left arms. Thus, it must be remembered, where it applies, as the device is viewed from the front that the terms sinister and dexter are reversed. By heraldic tradition, the arms of the bishop of a diocese, called an “Ordinary,” are joined (impaled) with the arms of his jurisdiction, in this case the Diocese of Evansville, that are seen in the dexter impalement (left side) of the design. In 1834, as part of the early expansion of The Church in America, the Holy See established a diocese at Vincennes in Indiana. In 1898 the seat of the diocese was transferred to Indianapolis and in 1944, when Indianapolis became the seat of an archdiocese, the Diocese of Evansville was established. The coat of arms of the Diocese of Evansville reflects its heritage. In the base of a silver (white) field are two blue wavy bars to represent the waters of the Ohio River that forms such a significant aspect of the geography of the City of Evansville. The demarcation of the main field, as it abuts the heraldic chief, is embattled to represent that the Diocese 18
of Evansville was carved from territory of the original diocese that was located around the Fort of Post Vincennes. Upon the blue chief is a silver (white) crescent to signify that Bishop Simon Brute, First Bishop of Vincennes, placed the diocese under “the protection of the glorious Mother of God, the Blessed Virgin Mary.” And while, the crescent is a significant symbol of the Blessed Virgin Mary, especially as it referred to Mary in her title of the Immaculate Conception, as recorded in the Book of Revelation (Rev. 12:1), the crescent also signifies that City of Evansville that sits aside a major bend, a crescent, in the flow of the Ohio River. For his personal arms, His Excellency, Bishop Siegel has adopted a design that reflects his heritage and his ministry as a priest and now as a bishop. These arms are composed in red, blue, silver and gold that are the colors employed in the arms of the Siegel family. The shield is divided by a chevron, to be reminiscent of a “carpenter’s square,” to pay particular honor to the Bishop’s baptismal patron, Saint Joseph, the foster father of Jesus. In the upper portion of the design is a rose, to honor both the Blessed Virgin Mary, in her title of Mystical Rose, and Saint Therese, the Little Flower, to whom Bishop Siegel has particular devotion. The rose is also the symbol of the Respect Life cause in which the Bishop has been active as a priest and bishop. Also in the upper portion is a silver rampant lion that is taken from the arms of the Wallace family of the mother of the Bishop. The lion is also the symbol of Saint Mark the Evangelist, also a baptismal patron of the Bishop. In the lower portion of the design is a gold Moline cross (each arm terminates in what looks like an anchor) which is classic charge used in Benedictine arms and by its presentation here the Bishop calls to reflection his profound affection for the Order of Saint Benedict and Benedictine spirituality. The Moline cross is placed below and between two gold fleur-de-lis, the lily form that is often associated with the Blessed Virgin and St. Joseph, and which is found in the arms of the Diocese of Joliet, the local Church in which the Bishop Siegel was baptized, ordained and served as auxiliary bishop. For his motto, His Excellency Bishop Siegel has selected IN TE DOMINE SPERAVI. This quotation is taken from the closing responsories of the Te Deum and is also alluded to in the 22nd verse of the 33rd Psalm. In this phrase, “In you Lord, I have placed my hope,” Bishop Siegel expresses the faith of all Christians that is by placing our hope in Christ and in His Protection, that all we are called to be can be achieved. The achievement in completed by the external ornamentation which are a gold 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 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. Original design and description by Deacon Paul J. Sullivan, Deacon of the Diocese of Providence, RI. Design adapted by Dawn Evans Design updated by Craig Miller 19
