The first quarter shows a Celtic cross, indicating the Irish ancestry of the bishop. The bird in the second quarter is composed of three different birds; a dove to represent the Holy Spirit, a raven for Saint Benedict, and an eagle for Saint John the Evangelist. The base shows a bread basket and rolls to signify Catholic Social Services. | |||
The third quarter shows a crown for the Queen City of Charlotte. The bar with eight ermine tails signifies dignity and the eight years the bishop was active in the Curaillo movement. | |||
The fourth quarter shows a tower, taken from the Begley family arms. It also refers to the orphanage in Nazareth, where the bishop served as a director. Finally the tower also represents the titles of St. Mary as "Tower of David" or "Tower of Ivory". | |||
The motto "Diligimus Fratres" (I love my brother) symbolises the bishop's love for others. | |||
