JOSEPH FRANCIS MCGRATH
Born : March 3, 1871
Deceased : April 12, 1950
Bishop of Baker-City, 1919-1950
Official blazon
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 cross and the forearms are derived from the arms of a (non related) McGrath family and are used here as elements for the last name of the bishop. The lily-staff is that of his patron, St. Joseph, and the star indicates a devotion to Our Lady.
