This design is taken from the arms of an Irish Shehan family and is used here to symbolise the last name of the bishop. The silver dove on a green mound, holding a green olive branch in its beak is a 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." | |||
