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 Archbishop are based on the arms of the Keogh family of Ireland which bore the same. Here the crescent is in honor of the Blessed Virgin, Patroness of the United States, in her Immaculate Conception; the pierced hand is in honor of St. Francis Assisi, his baptismal name Patron.

The motto: Maria Spes Nostra, "Mary, our Hope" is taken from the hymn Salue Regina, which is recited at the Divine Office.
