Country: Australia
Denomination: Roman Catholic
Established: 1930
Official blazon
Azure, a representation of the Southern Cross argent, on a chief embattled argent, a fleur-de-lis azure.
Origin/meaning
The fleur-de-lys is a sign of Mary. The battlements are a sign of protection and help, and also symbolise Castle Hill. The Southern Cross symbolises Australian Christians.
The arms were adopted in 1984. Until 2017 the fleur-de-lys was red, only with the accession of Bishop Harris it was changed to blue.
