RICHARD THOMAS GUILFOYLE
Born : December 22, 1892
Deceased : June 10, 1957
Bishop of Altoona, 1936-1957
Official blazon
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 red lion is taken from the arms of an Irish clan, the Quinlevans. The family name of Guilfoyle has been associated with this clan and the lion thus symbolises the family name of the bishop. The sword is a symbol of St. Paul, Guilfoyle is derived from the Gaelic 'servant of Paul'.
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop.
