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 derived from a (non related) Casey family of Ireland, consisting of a red chevron be tween three eagles' heads, in red with jagged edges, on a silver field. In his arms the third eagle's head has been omitted so that an escallop shell, the symbol of St. James the Greater, the baptismal patron of the Bishop, could be added.
The motto, "Nisi Dominus' taken from Psalm 126, is translated, "Unless the Lord.
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop.
