 As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.
-The personal coat of arms is that of the  McLaughlin family of County Meath in Ireland from which the ancestors of the Bishop came. These arms bear a knight on a red field holding a bow and arrow with an anchor displayed as a crest above the shield. To "difference" these arms, and to make them less warlike and more ecclesiastical, the anchor has been substituted for the bow and arrow. The anchor as the symbol of the Theological Virtue of Hope is more  befitting for a  prelate, and  yet the whole affords an adequate interpretation of the McLaughlin family arms.

 The McLaughlins are descendants of Maoil Scheachlainn, better known as Malachy II, King of Ireland from 980 to 1002. The name signifies servant or follower of Scheachlainn, or Saint Secundinus. Malachy was of the race of Niall from which  the  O'Neills  also  descend. The McLaughlins inhabited Meath and central Ireland.
