* (personal arms) Argent, a chevron azure charged with a trefoil of the field, between three spear-heads gules. | |||
===Origin/meaning=== | ===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 chevron is a canting element for the name Drumm(er), being of Irish/Scottish origin and meaning ridge or hill. The spear-heads are among the attributes of Saint Thomas, the Ordinary's Patron, and the trefoil of Saint Patrick indicates his cure before his advancement to the episcopate. | |||
