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 three hills represent the three hills (Pemberton Hill, Beacon Hill, and Mt. Vernon) on which the City of Boston is built, and in which he was incardinated as a priest. The cross is used to show respect for the Cathedral of the Holy Cross in Boston, where he in 198 was ordained a bishop.
The eagle head is the symbol of St. John, patron of St. John's Seminary in Brighton, Massachusetts, where Bishop Hughes served as professor and spirirual director, and where he was rector at the time be was appointed Auxiliary Bishop of Boston.
Bishop Hughes' motto is FOR YOU GOD'S OWN LOVE, and is based on St. Paul's expression of apostolic charity in I Corinthians 16:24 .
