Origin/meaning
The first impalement bears the arms of the Carroll family; the second is for the Archdiocese of Baltimore.
The Blessed Virgin is depicted as Patroness of the United States, the thirteen stars represent the Thirteen Original States of the United States of America; the two keys in saltire are in honor of St. Peter, because the church which was his pro-Cathedral was dedicated to this Apostle.
Blazon of the Carroll or O'Carroll family of Ireland: Sable, two lions rampant combatant or armed and langued gules, supporting a sword point upwards proper pommel and hilt of the first.
The motto is taken from Psalm 37, verse 22l and is translated as "Forsake us not, O Lord, my God, stay not far from me."
