* (personal arms) Per pale Vert and Or, a cross fleuretty above two lion rampant combatant all counterchanged; overall at the nombril point, a sword, blade to base, Argent. | |||
===Origin/meaning=== | ===Origin/meaning=== | ||
As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop. | |||
The arms are based on the arms of two families with the same name as his parents John and Bernice Moore Sheridan. Both these have a lion, one green in gold, the other gold in green. These two arms are combined with a silver sword, the symbol of St. Michael, the warrior, and the Bishop's baptismal patron. This is all placed under a cross fleuretty, which is taken from the arms of the [[Archdiocese of Saint Louis]], who uses this symbol to honor St. Louis, King of France, titular of the See City. | |||
