Summary[edit]

Description
English: COA CAN Bishop Richard John Grecco of Charlottetown.svg

" The colour, red, white and green, refers to the Italian heritage of Bishop Grecco. Green is also the colour of hope; red, of the Holy Spirit; white, of purity and joy. The lily is symbolic of the Blessed Virgin Mary and identifies the name of Bishop Grecco’s mother: ‘Lily”. The grapes symbolize the Eucharist and refer to the vineyards of the Niagara Region. The shovel and hammer within the chevron symbolize the dignity of human

work and the lifetime occupation of Anthony, Bishop Grecco’s father. The anchor is an ancient symbol of hope and a reminder of the ships that pass through the Welland Canal Locks in Bishop Grecco’s home town of Thorold. The “X” on the anchor is the Greek letter ‘Chi’, the first letter in the Greek spelling of the word ‘Christ’, our source of hope. The motto is the final verse of Psalm 27 - "Hope in the Lord" " [1]
