The coat of arms of the Diocese of Shreveport is composed of a red field to represent the Red River that runs through the See City. On this red field - is a gold sunburst charged with the monogram of the Holy Name (IHS).

This symbolism is employed here to represent Saint John Berchmans, titular of the Cathedral Church. From the

 


sunburst issue three wavy bars to represent the three rivers that run through the diocese--the Red, the Mississippi, and the Ouachita--and to represent the waters of Baptism that flow from God, Our Father, to save all mankind.
