The right side of the shield represents the Diocese of Thunder Bay. The upper part is a black field bearing a bright bolt of lightning to represent Thunder. The lower part is composed of a silver field bearing two blue wavy bars to represent Bay. | |||
The leftside shows the personal arms of the O'Mara family, with one lion removed. In its place an eagle's head has been substituted to honour St. John the Evangelist, the bishop's baptismal patron. | |||
The uniting of the personal coat of arms with symbols of the Diocese signifies the spiritual unity of the bishop with his See. | |||
The motto "The Ministry of Reconciliation' is taken from the second letter of St Paul to the Corinthians and expresses both an ideal and a program of life. | |||
