Origin/meaning
Central to the arms is the traditional escutcheon of the Society of Jesus - the IHS - which signifies the Holy Name of Jesus, with the three nails of the Passion underneath and surrounded by rays symbolising the Resurrection. The colours are red and gold, the colours of the House of Loyola.
The two books are the symbols for the teaching profession, so much part of the background of the bishop, and they are inscribed with the Alpha and Omega, the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet, symbolising the Beginning and the End, as is said in the blessing of the Paschal Candle.
The second quarter contains the Southern Cross, representing the Great South Land of Australia, contained within the ambit of the chequered crescent, which is taken from the arms of the family of St Francis Xavier Loyola, Patron of Australia. The crescent is also a traditional symbol for Mary.
The third quarter contains a stylised tower, taken from the arms of an Irish O'Kelly family and used here to symbolise the last name of the bishop, but also of the castle homes of Ignatius and Xavier Loyola, and the Jesuit church at Sevenhill, significant for the early Church in South Australia.
The motto translates as To love and to serve from the phrase of St Ignatius Loyola that we are to love and to serve in all things.
