Origin/meaning
As common in Australian episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
The Bishop’s personal arms show a blue field to reference the Virgin and the Bishop’s interest in boating and fishing and a Christogram Chi Rho in gold.
A charge from the arms of the Bishop’s patrynomic Irish sept, the MacGeoghegan, being a red lion is in this case differenced from the original lion rampant to the more pacific walking stance called passant.
The motto Manete in Dilectione Mea means Remain in my love and is taken from John 15:9
