Archbishop of Atlanta

Official blazon

Origin/meaning

The quartering of the arms alludes to the Archbishops' Service as priest in the Archdiocese of Washington, DC. The colours green and red are from the Arms of the Families O'Donoghue and Ryan from which the Archbishop stems. The cross fleury symbolises the baptismal patron St John Vianney (1786-1859) and St Mary. The ermine chief alludes to the longtime cooperation with the 2nd Archbishop of Washington DC Patrick Cardinal O'Boyle, whose arms had a similar chief.
