As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
The two stars come from the McAuliffe family arms of Munster in Ireland. The lozenge is from the Broderick coat of arms, to honor the mother of the bishop. | |||
The two bars with a wavy star come from the arms of Saint-Francis de Sales, one of the bishops baptismal patrons. The open book commemorates his many years of work and interest in the field of education. | |||
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. | |||
