MARTIN DEWEY MCNAMARA
Born: May 12, 1896
Deceased: May 23, 1966
Bishop of Joliet in Illinois, 1949-1966
| English | blazon wanted |
Origin/meaning
By heraldic tradition the arms of a diocesan bishop are joined (impaled) with the arms of his jurisdiction; in this case the Diocese of Biloxi.
The McNamaras of Ireland are known by the lion rampant. This particular shield is of the McNamara family of the southern section of Eire and is differenced by two spearheads. Since the name Martin means warlike and is that of the baptismal patron of the bishop, it is singularly coincidental that the arms of this family contain spearheads. A fleur-d-lys, taken from the arms of the arms of the Archdiocese of Chicago, has been added as a brisure to symbolize the Archdiocese of which Bishop McNamara was a priest at the time of his appointment.
The motto DOMINE UT SERVIAM means "O Lord, that I may serve".
The arms of the bishop in the church:
