As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
The ship is an old O'Leary emblem. The star is from the Bishop's former Ordinary (Guertin of Manchester); the three lance heads are the heraldic attributes of St. Thomas, the Apostle, his name Patron. | |||
The motto means " I have chosen the way of truth" and is taken from Psalm 118: 30 | |||
