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 canting, showing a grove of trees, also known as a shaw.
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop.
