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 bends in the personal half are taken from the arms of a Conroy family and are used here as a canting element for the name of the bishop. The staff represents St. Joseph, his patron saint, the book refers to Catholic education.

The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop.
