As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
A golden oak tree, represents the Irish clan of O'Connor and thus the family name of the bishop. The tree stands on a red field, the liturgical color of charity and the humanity of the Lord and it refers to Bishop O'Connor's long-standing association with Catholic Charities in the Archdiocese of Chicago. | |||
Above the oak tree is a blue star, which honors St. William, abbot of Monte Vergine, the baptismal patron of the bishop. | |||
Bishop O'Connor's motto is "praesidium nobis Deus" (God is our support). | |||
