THOMAS MICHAEL O'LEARY
Born : August 16, 1875
Deceased : October 10, 1949
Bishop of Springfield in Massachusetts, 1921-1949
Official blazon
Impaled. Dexter: Argent, a cross pommetty gules, between four fountains; Sinister: Azure, a three-masted ship under sail argent, led by a five-pointed star of the same; on a chief of the last three lance-heads gules.
MOTTO: Viam veritatis elegi.
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 ship is an old O'Leary emblem. The star is from the Bishop's former Ordinary (Guertin of Manchester); the three lance heads are the heraldic attributes of St. Thomas, the Apostle, his name Patron.
The motto means " I have chosen the way of truth" and is taken from Psalm 118: 30
