WILLIAM JOSEPH CONDON
Born: April 7, 1895
Deceased: August 17, 1967
Bishop of Great Falls, 1939-1967
| English | blazon wanted |
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 two owls are the symbol for St. William of Montevergine (also known as William the Abbot). This is based on a legend that two angels in the guise of small silver owls gleaming in the moonlight flew into the cell of the holy Abbot. The lily is the symbol for St. Joseph, the second patron saint of the bishop.
The red colour, silver bar and the red lion are taken from English/Irish family arms of a Condon and a Kavanaugh family to represent the names of his father and mother respectively.
