As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the archdiocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
His personal arms are composed of a blue field with a gold bar across the center. The conjoined circle and triangle is used to represent The Holy Trinity, titular of the seminary that His Excellency served as being Rector. The silver dove is taken from a Sheehan family device and honors the heritage of the Archbishop's parents John Edward and Mildred Jarboe Sheehan. | |||
Issuant from the bottom of the Archbishop's arms is the silver dome of St. Peter's Basilica, in Rome, which is placed below a gold Roman Numeral two (II) to signify that Archbishop Sheehan was in St. Peter's on the day that Vatican Council II opened. | |||
In the spirit of Vatican II, Archbishop Sheehan has retained the motto "LOVE ONE ANOTHER CONSTANTLY." In this phrase, the true basis of Christ's teaching, the Archbishop expresses his deep belief that we all must follow the teachings of our Divine Lord and lone one another at all times. | |||
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. | |||
