Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The personal arms are composed of four elements. The field is blue to honor the Bishop's deep and profound devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, to whom he has dedicated his life and service as a bishop. On this field is placed a silver cross moline, taken from the arms of the Diocese of Providence, is used to recall the territory which the Bishop served as a priest and as an auxiliary bishop. The cross of Providence is placed on the crossed keys of St. Peter to reflect that it was on the Feast of the Chair of Peter that Robert J. McManus was ordained as a bishop and that this self-described "man of the Church" received his doctorate in Sacred Theology from the Pontifical Gregorian University in Rome.
The fourth element of Bishop McManus' design is the processional cross that, as for any bishop, is placed in back of the shield and which extended above and below the shield. The cross used here is a Celtic cross, with traditional knotwork, that is employed to reflect the Irish heritage that has come to The Bishop from his parents.
For his motto, Bishop McManus uses the phrase, "CHRISTUS VERITATIS SPLENDOR." This phrase expresses His Excellency's deep belief that it is "Christ, the Splendor of Truth" who is our teacher, our guide and our mentor in all that we are and in all that we do, if we are to follow Him and we are to gain the Eternal Paradise that He has planned for those who love Him
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop by instruction of the Holy See, of March 1969, confirmed in March 2001.
