Official blazon
Impaled. Dexter: Quarterly azure and argent, a cross botonny throughout quarterly of the second and gules, in dexter chief a mullet of the second (See of Baltimore); Sinister: Sable, on a fess between three leopards' faces argent langued gules, an escallop of the last (Gibbons).
Motto: Emitte Spiritum Tuum (Send forth Thy Spirit, Ps. 103:30).
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 three leopards' faces are taken from the arms of the Gibbons family of Ireland. The escallop shell on the fess is one of the symbols of St. James the Apostle, the Cardinal's baptismal patron.
The motto is taken from the Psalm 103, verse 30: Emitte Spiritum Tuum et creabuntur, et renouabis faciem terrae, which is translated: "Thou shalt send forth thy spirit, and they shall be created, and thou shalt renew the face of the earth."
His arms in Richmond were quite different as can be seen above.
