As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
The red saltire with the two spears are an allusion to St. Thomas, the bishop's secondary patron. The upper portion of the shield shows the white dove representing the Holy Spirit descending. On the left is a blue fleur-de-lis representing Our Lady. The blue martlet below is a charge drawn from the arms of St. Edward the Confessor. This is an allusion to the bishop's primary patron. The blue book to the right serves as a symbol of the Holy Scriptures. | |||
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. | |||
