Per chevron, a lamb statant Proper holding in the bend of its front leg a shepherd's staff Gules: on a chief nebuly Azure the monogram of the Blessed Virgin Mary Argent.
Origin/meaning
The main charges of the shield have particular significance for Bishop Martin. The chief is blue and with the Marian symbol (monogram) represents Mary. Bishop Martin is a member of the Society of Mary.
The gold base depicts the lamb holding the crook and represents the Good Shepherd who is a sign of comfort for us. It is also a reminder of the call of Christ to shepherd the flock, a responsibility Bishop Martin has as the chief shepherd of the diocese of Christchurch. Sheep are also a reminder of Hawkes Bay, the rich agricultural area where Bishop Martin was raised'.
On a scroll below the shield is Bishop Martin's motto: Rejoice in the Lord always from Philippians 4:4.
