===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 cross is taken from the arms of an Irish Marshall family and used here to symbolise the name of the bishop. Being a cross it was seen as an appropriate symbol for a prelate. The two crescents commemorate Our | |||
Lady of the Immaculate Conception. She is also the patroness of the chapel of the North American College where the Bishop was ordained to the Holy Priesthood. | |||
The two swords honor Saint Paul the Apostle on whose feast (Jan. 25) the Bishop received episcopal ordination. With the point upwards, the sword is a symbol of the spiritual armament appropriate to Saint Paul. | |||
The field is blue, taken from the arms of the [[Diocese of Worcester (USA)|Diocese of Worcester]] where he served as a priest. The eagle is the revered symbol of Saint John the Evangelist | |||
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop. | |||
