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 the McAuliffe family: Argent, three mullets and in fesse three mermaids. The lion is for St. Maurice and the crescent is for St. Francis de Sales, the Bishop's patron saints.

The motto means "In the charity of God" (2 The. 3:5).
