The first quarter shows the falls in the Genessee river, as a symbol for the city of Rochester. The third quarter shows a saltire with a shamrock, these symbolise St. Patrick (Saltire for Scotland, shamrock for Ireland), thepatron saint of the cathedral of Rochester. In the upper quarter of the salitre is a monogram and star for St. Mary. These are taken from the arms of his predecessor, Thomas Francis Hickey. In the lower half is a lily flower, bot for St. Joseph as well as for the 'Flower city' of Rochester.
The herons in the second quarter are a canting element for Hern, which may have been derived from Heron. The fourth quarter shows a pelican in her piety, a common Christian symbol for the Sacrament.
