Official blazon
Gules, a lion rampant argent, holding in the fore paws a Latin cross fleury or, on a chief of the same a dove regardant proper, holding in the beak an olive branch vert, between two fleurs-de-lys azure.
Motto: Ad Obediendum Fidei.
As (arch)bishop: Impaled arms. Dexter: the arms of the Diocese of Fall River or the Archdiocese of Hartford and Sinister the personal arms as described above.
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 lion symbolizes the baptismal name of Bishop Cronin and recalls Daniel the Prophet in the Old Testament. The lion bears a cross fleury similar to the one in the arms of the Archdiocese of Boston to signify that the Bishop is a native of the archdiocese of Boston where he was born, baptized and confirmed, and received episcopal consecration in Holy Cross Cathedral.
The chief bears symbols for the three Popes under whom the Bishop served as Secretary to the Apostolic Internunciature in Ethiopia and in the Secretariat of State in Vatican City. The dove holding the olive branch in its beak from the coat of arms of Pope Pius XII is displayed between two fleurs-de-lys, one from the arms of Pope John XXIII and the other from the arms of Pope Paul VI.
The motto "Ad Obediendum Fidei" (Romans:1:5), is translated, "For obedience of the faith".
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop by instruction of the Holy See, of March 1969, confirmed in March 2001.
