Born : August 4, 1907
Deceased : February 4, 1950
Auxiliary Bishop of San Francisco, 1948-1950; Titular Bishop of Cea
Official blazon
Origin/meaning
The arms are based on the arms of the O'Dubhda ofUi Fiachrach clan from Ireland. Thhe black saltire on a gold field is retained from the clan arms (the saltire, being a form of cross, was deemed suitable) and a scallop shell added at the centre of the cross (this shell is the symbol of St James, the baptismal name of the Bishop). In the top section of the shield, the warlike crossed swords are replaced by a blue star, the symbol of Our Lady of Peace (the Bishop had been brought up in the parish of Our Lady, Star of the Sea).
