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 personal half shows the arms of a Keyes family to symbolise the last name of the bishop, but with the tinctures reversed, and under addition of three shells, for Saint-Michael, baptismal patron of the bishop. The canton with the star and Mary-monogram is the arms of the Society of Mary, of whom bishop Keyes was a member.
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.
