What is the significance of the Southern Cross on Bishop Strickland’s crest? Is it visible in Texas?
No. His mother was Australian.
Ah, thank you; I didn’t think it was visible in Texas.
Very nicely done, Father. Which dioceses are represented in the dexter halves of the shields?
I believe I’ve already written it in the text of the post: Tyler, TX and Erie, PA.
So you did.
To be honest, I thought those were their places of birth or where they were raised, not their dioceses. Thank you.
