- (Wheeling-Charleston) Arms impaled. Dexter: Party per chevron, Gules and chevronny of six Argent and Vert; overall a lily, stemmed and leaved Or.

Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
As Bishop of Wheeling-Charleston Bishop Brennan has simplified the design he used as an Auxiliary Bishop of the Archdiocese of Baltimore.
On a blue field are displayed two gold crowns to honor his parents, Regina (the Latin word for queen) and Edward, to honor Saint Edward the Confessor of England. The golden escutcheon charged with a blue “M” honors the most Blessed Virgin Mary. The escutcheon is placed above a lion’s head to represent with a classic charge St. Mark, the Bishop’s baptismal Patron.
For his motto, Bishop Brennan has chosen the phrase “LIVING THE TRUTH IN LOVE”, for it is in the love of Jesus Christ that the truth, regardless of it being high note or low, will win out.
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop.
