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 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.
