===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 three scallops refer to St. James, the patron saint of the bishop. The garland in chief is a canting symbol. Colors of the shield are blue for Mary, the mother of Jesus, and red for martyrdom, the fate of St. James. | |||
The staff behind the shield is shaped like an Irish Cross, symbolising his Irish ancestry. | |||
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop. | |||
