As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.

The golden anchor is a symbol or hope, intertwined by a salmon in silver. One of the most ancient Christian symbols, the fish (in Greek, ichthus) stands for Jesus Christ, God's Son, Savior. Placed on the anchor, it symbolizes Christ on the cross, our hope of salvation.

The windmill has been a symbol of New York City since it was known as New Amsterdam. There are two of these to signify a more recent symbol of New York, the "Twin Towers" of the World Trade Center. The target of the horrific attack on the United States on September 11, 2001 the "Twin Towers" have evoked an heroic response among peoples everywhere of unity, determination and hope for a better world.

For his motto, Bishop McDonnell uses the Two Great Commandments, "LOVE GOD ANO LOVE NEIGHBOR.'

The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop by instruction of the Holy See, of March 1969, confirmed in March 2001.
