Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. Bishop Mitty changed his personal arms between Salt Lake City and San Francisco.
Bishop Mitty's coat of arms in Salt Lake City is symbolic of Christian teaching. The lamp is the lamp of learning, which is surmounted by the Cross overshadowed by a dove, the symbol of the Holy Spirit. On the sides of the shield are two Maltese crosses, portraying the Bishop's military service.
The motto Mihi Vivere Christus est means To me to live is Christ. This is the motto of St. Joseph's Seminary, Dunwoodie, where Bishop Mitty spent five years as student and eight years as professor. Because he was so intimately associated with Dunwoodie for so many years and because he is Dunwoodie's first alumnus to be elevated to the episcopate, Bishop Mitty was moved, by his deep love and devotion to the seminary, to use its motto in his coat of arms.
The personal arms as Coadjutor and Archbishop are quartered of blue and silver with an eagle in the first quarter. The quartering is taken from some Mitty family arms and thus symbolise the family name of the bishop. In the first quarter an eagle, symbol for St. John, was added.
The black bar with the fleur-de-lys is based on some Murphy family arms and symbolises the name of his mother. On these family arms three garbs were shown on the bar, which were replaced by fleur-de-lys as as symbol for St. Joseph.
