As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
The personal coat of arms of Bishop Shehan were adopted in 1945 when he was consecrated auxiliary Bishop of Baltimore. | |||
The Shehan family of Ireland bears a silver dove on a green mound, holding a green olive branch in its beak in reference to the Gaelic derivation of the name which means "peace." It is interesting to note that Pope [[Pius XII]] also bears a dove on his arms because of the derivation of his family name, Pacelli - "peace." | |||
The motto means ''Follow after Charity'' and is from the first Epistle of St. Paul to the Corinthians, chapter 14, verse 1. | |||
