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 side is based on the well-known arms of the English (unrelated) Cunningham family, "argent, a shakefork sable" and thus used here to represent the family name of the bishop. The colors of the Bishop's shield are blue and white to honor Our Lady as his Patroness and the crescent in the upper portion of the shield symbolizes Our Lady, under the title of the Immaculate Conception, as Patroness of the United States.
The chief displays a red saltire or cross (X) on a silver field. This refers to St. Patrick and honors the Irish ancestry of Bishop Cunningham. The cross also represents the mother of the bishop, as several (unrelated) Fitzgerald families in the United Kingdom used a saltire in their arms. The mother of the bishop was named Fitzgerald.
A saltire also was part of the arms of Bishop Walter Andrew Foery, under whom Bishop Cunninham served as auxiliary bishop.
The motto Omnia In Caritate is taken from I Corinthians, the l6th chapter and the 14th verse, and is translared. "All things in charity".
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop.
