===Origin/meaning=== | ===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 personal arms are based on the arms of a Griffin family used as a symbol for his last name. The scallop was added as a symbol for St. James, his patron saint. | |||
