Origin/meaning
As common in Australian episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The arms are canting; the cross of St. Michael in the upper half, and the arms of the McCarthy clan in base as a reference to his last name.
The motto “Gloriari in Cruce” (Boast in the Cross) is from St Paul’s Epistle to the Galatians 6:14.
