The dexter impalement bears the arms of The Catholic University of America. The sinister impalement contains the personal arms of the Bishop. It is based on that of a McCormick family of Ireland. The saw-like indentations of the fess honor Saint Joseph the Carpenter, and a further reference to the Foster Father of Our Saviour is incorporated in the two lilies. A brisure of a shamrock has been added as a symbol of Saint Patrick. The two Saints are the patrons of Bishop McCormick. | |||
The motto Sub tuum praesidium is taken from the antiphon Nunc Dimittis in Compline of the Little Office of the Blessed Virgin. | |||
