The pine cone is a reference to St. Robert Bellarmine (1542-1621), the Bishop's baptismal patron. The pine cone is taken from the Bellarmine family arms. The red rose refers to St. Theresa of Lisieux, the patronal saint of the McClory fanilly. Bishop McClory celebrated his first Mass as a priest and eventually became the pastor and rector of the National Shrine of the Little Flower Basilica in Royal Oak, Mich., from where he was called to the episcopacy. | The pine cone is a reference to St. Robert Bellarmine (1542-1621), the Bishop's baptismal patron.
