Origin/meaning
The right side of the shield shows Saint Brigid’s Cross, associated with Brigid of Kildare, reminding to the fact that Father Paul ministered for twenty-three years as a priest of the diocese of Kildare & Leighlin. The silver is the colour of transparency, truth and justice, fundamental qualities for the Bishop’s pastoral service.
The shell is the well-known symbol of a pilgrim. The bishop leads the earthly pilgrimage of the flock entrusted to his pastoral care as fellow pilgrims towards the homeland of heaven. The green signifies abundance, joy, hope and loyalty in love. It is associated with St. Patrick and is the national colour of Ireland.
The lion symbolises strength and courage. The sword in classical iconography of the Roman Catholic Church is the symbol of Saint Paul. These two symbols, the lion and the sword, also appear on a Dempsey family arms. The red is the colour of love, of blood, a reminder of the infinite love of the Father who sent the Son to shed His blood for us on the cross in a profound act of love.
