Argent, upon a chevron Azure two estoiles of the first; between to chief dexter a fleur-de-lis and to chief sinister a trefoil and to base a star, all of the second.
Origin/meaning
Bishop Kelly's arms are based on a Kelly family design where the shield is silver and the charges are black. For difference, and for his deep devotion to the Blessed Virgin Mary, the chevron is now blue. The chevron is reminiscent of the mountains of Colorado, so dear to His Excellency's youth and the chevron is charged with two estoiles that are taken.from the mantle of the image of Our Lady of Guadalupe to remind all of the profound Hispanic influence in Texas, the "Lone Star State", represented by the single star below the chevron. Above the chevron are a fleur-de-lis and a trefoil (the heraldic representation of a shamrock) to honor the Bishop's Irish and French-Canadian heritage.
For his motto, His Excellency, Bishop Kelly has adopted the phrase "TAKE COURAGE," taken from the words of Jesus to the disciples as he walking towards them on the water (Mt. 14: 27): 'Take courage, it is I, do not be afraid."
