In the lower right we see a blue letter "M" surmounted by a silver crown. This is the monogram for Mary, Our Queen. The diocese is under the patronage of the Queenship of Mary. In addition, the crown is taken from the arms of [[Theodore Edgar McCarrick]], the founding bishop of Metuchen, who was ordained to the priesthood on the Feast of the Queenship of Mary. The "M" also appeared in the arms of His Holiness, Pope John Paul II. | In the lower right we see a blue letter "M" surmounted by a silver crown. This is the monogram for Mary, Our Queen.
