Interpretation In the right side of the shield (in the heraldic shield, right and left are exchanged from the observer point of view since we have to consider the right and the left of the soldier who holds his own shield) we find represented the Coat of Arms of the Diocese of Marquette. These arms are composed of a red (Gules) field on which are seen two silver (Argent) keys between two racks of stags horns, also silver. The keys are the traditional symbol of St. Peter, the patron saint of the Cathedral in the See City and of the Diocese of Marquette, and they are placed between two sets of stags horns taken from the arms of the State of Michigan and emblematic of the wildlife of this state. The upper portion, known in heraldry as chief, is silver and has displayed on it two red fleur de lys to honour the early French missionaries, especially Father Marquette, S.J. and Louis Joliet who came to the region of Michigan to spread the Faith. The fleur de lys are placed between three Passion nails, taken from the insignia of the Society of Jesus (Jesuits) who were responsible for the early evangelization of the upper Great Lakes region. In the left side of the shield we have the personal coat of arms of Bishop Doerfler: the color of the field is blue (Azure in heraldic ancient terminology), which symbolizes the separation from the worldly values and the ascent of the soul toward God; therefore, the run of the Celestial Virtues which raise themselves from the things of the earth toward the sky. On it we have a golden (Or) cross to recall the patron saint of Bishop Doerfler, St. John of the Cross. The cross is in gold, the most noble metal, and symbol then of the first Virtue: the Faith. In fact, it is by Faith that we believe in the mystery of the Cross, symbol of the Redemption and of the Salvation. The silver (Argent) star recalls the Blessed Virgin Mary, star of the Evangelization. The star is in silver, the color of transparency, thus of purity, the purity of the Blessed Virgin Mary. The rampant lion is also a symbol frequently used in Roman Catholic Church heraldic tradition. In fact, a popular tradition maintains that Saint Anthony gave a prayer to a poor woman who sought help against evil temptations. Pope Sixtus V, a Franciscan, had the prayer carved at the base of the obelisk, which he erected in St. Peter's Square in Rome. Here is the original Latin: Crucem Domini! Fugite partes adversae! Vicit Leo de tribu Juda, Radix David! Alleluia! Behold the Cross of the Lord! Be gone all evil powers! The Lion of the tribe of Judah, The root of David has conquered! Alleluia!
Beside this, the lion also recalls the family of the Bishop: in fact, the rampant lion appears in the Doerfler familys coat of arms. Ecclesiastical Heraldry In accordance with the heraldic tradition of the Roman Catholic Church, the Coat of Arms of a Bishop is normally composed of: - A shield with its charges (symbols) coming from family, geographic, religious and historical meanings and/or referred to the name of the Bishop; - A golden processional cross, with one traversal bar, to represent the rank of the Bishop, impaled (vertically) behind the shield; - A wide-brimmed green pilgrims hat (galero) with 12 attached tassels, (six on each side, with one in the top row, two in the second and three on the bottom); - A scroll with the Bishops motto, written generally in black and appearing below.

Litany of Saints
The Deacon invites all to stand for the prayer of introduction, then all kneel at his instruction.
Laying on of Hands
Archbishop Vigneron imposes his hands on Bishop-elect Doerflers head. This ancient gesture, which expresses the outpouring of the Holy Spirit, is the heart of the ordination rite. The Most Reverend Alexander K. Sample and the Most Reverend David L. Ricken serve as the Principal co-consecrators. The co-consecrators and all the bishops then impose their hands. Johann Sebastian Bach
Prayer of Ordination
The imposition of hands leads to the solemn prayer of ordination made by Archbishop Vigneron and all the bishops present. The action of suspending the Book of the Gospels over the candidates head has been part of the ordination rite since the earliest centuries. It expresses the power of the Word of God over us. The life of each new bishop must be thoroughly imbued with the Spirit of Gods Word which must be the foundation of his ministry. Following the prayer, the Deacon invites all to be seated.
Anointing
The head of Bishop Doerfler is anointed with Sacred Chrism, a sign of the bishops distinctive share in the priesthood of Christ.

Panis Angelicus
Panis angelicus Fit panis hominum; Dat panis coelicus Figuris terminum: O res mirabilis! Manducat Dominum Pauper, servus et humilis. Te trina Deitas, Unaque poscimus, Sic nos tu visita, Sicut te colimus; Per tuas semitas Duc nos quo tendimus, Ad lucem quam inhabitas.
The bread of the angels becomes the bread of man; the heavenly bread provides a conclusion to the foreshadowings. O wondrous thing! Feast upon the Lord, a servant, poor and humble. We beseech Thee, Godhead One in Three That Thou will visit us, as we worship Thee, lead us through Thy ways, We who wish to reach the light in which Thou dwellest.
Ave Maria
Domini nuntiavit Mariae, et concepit de Spiritu sancto. The angel of the Lord appeared unto Mary, and she conceived by the Holy Spirit. Maria dixit: Ecce ancilla Domini, fiat mihi secundum verbum tuum. Mary said: I am the handmaiden of the Lord, be it done to me according to your word. Et verbum caro factum est et habitavit in nobis. And the word became flesh and dwelt among us.

The Chalice of Venerable Frederic Baraga is being used at today's Rite of Ordination and Installation. Bishop Baraga was the first Bishop of the Diocese of Marquette, 1853-1868. It is the custom of the Diocese of Marquette to use the chalice at ordinations. It is also used whenever the bishop presides in the Cathedral at Mass for major diocesan celebrations. The chalice was a gift to Bishop Baraga from the Emperor Franz Joseph of Austria. Bishop Baraga received the gift on the occasion of the wedding of the emperor in 1854 at which Bishop Baraga represented the American Catholic Church Hierarchy.
