Origin/meaning
As common in Australian episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the (arch)diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The yellow boat, an ancient image of the Church, sails on a blue background and features the Chi Rho symbol on the sail. The symbol is one of the earliest Christograms made up of the first two letters of the Greek word for Christ. When developing his arms, it was discovered that a boat featured on the original arms for the Diocese of Bathurst, and also on those for the City of Paris where he studied.
Two blue dolphins at the top of the shield come from an O’Regan coat of arms and a green shamrock denotes his Irish heritage.
