RUSSELL JOSEPH MCVINNEY
Born : November 25, 1898
Deceased : August 10, 1971
Bishop of Providence, 1948-1971
Official blazon
Impaled. Dexter: Azure, three crosses moline argent; Sinister : Argent, a cross or, between in chief two fleurs-de-lis azure, over all in fesse point a carpenter's triangle and in base an anchor cabled, also azure.
MOTTO: Maria Mater Spei.
Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The personal arms of the Bishop are based upon his devotion to Our Lady of Providence and St. Joseph, his Patron Saint. Our Lady is represented by her flower, the lily; St. Joseph, by the carpenter's triangle. The cross symbolizes the Faith, the anchor of Hope echoes the Bishop's motto.
The motto means "Mary, Mother of Hope."
