WILLIAM FRANCIS O’HARE
Born : January 23, 1870
Deceased : October 11, 1926
Apostolic Vicar of Jamaica, 1919-1926; Titular Bishop of Maximianopolis in Arabia
Official blazon
- (personal side) Vert, a lion between three crosses of Toulouse or, and in chief the badge of the Society of Jesus.
Origin/meaning
As common in US episcopal heraldry (the Bishop was American born), the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The lion in the personal side is taken from an O'Hara family and thus symbolises the name of the bishop. In these O'Hara family arms there are three scallops, these are here replaced by three crosses of Toulouse for Saint William of Toulouse, Abbot of Gellone, the prelate's Patron.
The bishop was a Jesuit, hence the symbol of the Society of Jesus in chief.
