| Selection of diocesan arms. Click to enlarge. Rendered by Chad Krouse, 2024. |
Sharing a selection of arms for various cathedrals in the Episcopal Church made me think about doing likewise for all the diocesan arms I've completed so far. Below are a few designs that I find fascinating--from the hand of la Rose no doubt.

| Diocese of Pennsylvania Rendered by Chad Krouse, 2024 |
The arms of the Diocese of Pennsylvania were designed in 1906 by Pierre de Chaignon la Rose (1872-1941) and blazoned: Argent, on a cross Gules three open crowns in pale Or, bordure Sable charged with eight plates.

| Diocese of Michigan Rendered by Chad Krouse, 2024 |
The arms of the Diocese of Michigan were designed sometime between 1908-1912 by la Rose and blazoned: Vert, a pale barry wavy of six Argent and Azure between two pinecones pendant proper; on a chief Or three crosses fleury Azure.

| Diocese of Rochester Rendered by Chad Krouse, 2024 |
The arms of the Diocese of Rochester were designed sometime between 1931-1935, and based on my data I firmly believe la Rose designed these arms. I'm currently waiting on some data to verify my hunch. Blazon for the arms of the Diocese of Rochester: Argent, a fess embattled and embowed Gules between three crosses moline Gules.
