MICHAEL JOSEPH KEYES
Born : February 28, 1876
Deceased : August 7, 1959
Bishop of Savannah, 1922-1935
Official blazon
Impaled. Dexter: Argent, a cross throughout between four crosses couped gules (See of Savannah, old form); Sinister: Gules, on a chevron between three fleurs-de-lis argent, as many escallops of the field; a canton of the Society of Mary; parted per less azure and argent, an estoile in chief and the letter M entwined with the same inverted in base counterchanged of the field (Keyes).
Motto: Ave Maris Stella
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 half shows the Keyes family arms but the tinctures reversed, and under addition of three shells, for Saint-Michael, baptismal patron of the bishop. The canton with the star and Mary-monogram is the arms of the Society of Mary, of whom bishop Keyes was a member.
The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop by instruction of the Holy See, of March 1969, confirmed in March 2001.
