Azure, a fesse argent, charged with three crescents gules and, in chief, a Latin Cross of the second.

The three crescents are from the armorial device of an Irish Kenny family (and refer to the maiden name of the Archbishop's mother).

The cross is a reference to Rome and to the ancestry of the Archbishop's father, has the place of honor on the shield.
