Arms impaled. In the dexter Azure the letter “M” Argent crowned with a celestial crown Or (Hobart); In the sinister per fess Gules and Argent, in chief a sun in splendor, the rays of light depicted as straight lines radiating to the edge of the field, within a ring all Or, charged overall with a dove displayed affronté Argent; in base an open book Argent, bound Gules and charged on the pages with the letters alpha and omega, Gules.
Origin/meaning
The arms are impaled with the diocesan arms.
The dove represents the Holy Spirit and surrounded by rays suggesting the famous Bernini window above the Altar of the Chair in St. Peter’s Basilica. The open book alludes to the Sacred Scriptures. Thus showing the heraldic equivalent of Spirit and Wisdom.
