(personal half) Argent, a "shaw," or grove of three trees vert, charged with a rose of the field; on a chief of the second an apostolic eagle displayed of the first.

As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.

The personal arms are canting, showing a grove of trees, also known as a shaw.

The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop.
