| English | blazon wanted |
Impaled. Dexter : Qarterly azure and argent, a cross quarterly of the last and gules, in dexter chief a crescent, over all in fess point an open book of the second, garnished and charged with the legend "Deus Lux mea est" or; Sinister: Argent, on a
fess dancette gules between three eagles displayed azure, a trefoil between two lilies of the field.
Motto: Sub tuum praesidium
Origin/meaning
The dexter impalement bears the arms of The Catholic University of America. The sinister impalement contains the personal arms of the Bishop. It is based on that of a McCormick family of Ireland. The saw-like indentations of the fess honor Saint Joseph the Carpenter, and a further reference to the Foster Father of Our Saviour is incorporated in the two lilies. A brisure of a shamrock has been added as a symbol of Saint Patrick. The two Saints are the patrons of Bishop McCormick.
The motto Sub tuum praesidium is taken from the antiphon Nunc Dimittis in Compline of the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin.
Literature: Brassard, 1956
