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 red and gold colors are taken from the arms of Cardinal John Henry Newman.
The falcon is derived from some Irish Tracy family arms and thus represent the family name of the bishop.
The fleur-de-lys represents the bishop's mother, but also represent St. Francis of Assisi, the patron og the parish church where the Bishop was baptized and confirmed and where he offered his first Mass. In addition, the fleur-de-lys lis is the symbol of St. Joseph and St. Mary, patron and patroness of the seminaries the Bishop attended. Also suggested by the fleur-de-lys is St. Louis of France, the titular of the Cathedral where Bishop Tracy was ordained, invested as a Papal Chamberlain, later as a Domestic Prelate and finally consecrated Bishop in 1959.
Beneath the falcon is a crescent, representing New Orleans, and commemorating the fact that he is the first native of that city to be named a bishop. The crescent also represents the Virgin Mary as Catholic patroness of the United States.
