As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
The arms of Bishop Russell are those of the Russell family. He was pastor of St. Patrick's Church in Washington before his elevation to the episcopacy; the shamrocks recall his rectorship there. | |||
