Bishop Christian’s coat of arms

May 24, 2018
 
Bishop-designate Robert. F. Christian, OP, described his episcopal coat of arms in an email to Catholic San Francisco: “The cross with the ihs shield represents the Dominican Province of the Most Holy Name of Jesus – my province. The crossed arms are, of course, Christ and St. Francis – so a reference to San Francisco. And the motto also recalls the name of Jesus: ‘Hallowed be thy name.’”
