Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
Tee first arms of the bishop showed for the diocese a red cross with a rose. The cross is the symbol of Christianity and the rose refers to St. Mary's Cathedral in Covington. Above the cross he use a knot, based on the seal of Kentucky. The knot is a symbol for the two clasped hands in the seal.
For his personal half he chose the arms of an Irish Mulloy family to symbolise his family name. He chose for a family that used arms with a black lion and three red trefoils. The chief symbolises his two patron saints, St. William of Bourges, symbolised by a chalice, and St. Theodore, symbolised by the cross (which is partially red to symbolise his martyrdom).
After the diocese adopted new arms, the arms were adjusted.
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop.
