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 Bishop Boland consist of a blue field charged with a round tower of gold, representative of St. Kevin, the bishop's patron saint who founded a monastic settlement at Glendalough, County Wicklow, where a round tower can be found to this day. In the chief is a red lion. The chief and lion are found in the arms of the Irish sept of Boland and the lion also commemorates the sept of O'Brien, the bishop's maternal family. | |||
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. | |||
