+As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
+The chief shows the Holy Spirit (dove) in the Marian colours (blue and silver) and two crescents. The crescent is also a symbol for St. Mary and symbolises here the St. Mary Seminary in Baltimore where the bishop studied.
+The lion is taken from the McDonald clan in Scotland as a 'canting' symbol (but these are not the family arms of the bishop). The hand with the saltire symbolises St. Andrew, the patron saint of the bishop.

+The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop.
