Origin/meaning

The Cross, Pastoral Staff and Mitre represent the Dioces eof Kilmore.

The other half shows Bishop Martin’s personal expression of how we as a pilgrim people (shell of St. James) are anchored in our faith in being invited to be part of the relationship of the Trinity (shamrock) through the Eucharist (grain and the grapes).

As his motto Bishop Martin has chosen ‘Your steadfast love endures’ (Ps 136:6) to indicate that God’s love is paramount. God’s love is evident from the moment of creation, estimated by cosmologists to be some 13.8 billion years ago, leading to the formation of stars, the galaxies, our solar system to include the Earth, the beginning of plant life, animal life and human life. Each one of us is ‘made in the image and likeness of God’ (Genesis 1:27) and each one of us is called to respond to God’s love in our loving of each other and our caring for all of life.
