For his personal coat of arms, Bishop Wm. Michael Mulvey has adopted a design that reflects his heritage and his ministry as a priest of Jesus Christ. The upper portion of Bishop Mulvey’s insignia is a field of gold with a red escallop (Scallop shell) displayed upon it. This is taken from the arms of His Holiness, Pope Benedict XVI, who called the bishop to the fullness of Christ’s priesthood as a bishop. The shell is also a symbol of baptism and the journey of holiness to which all are called.
The lower portion of the design has two blue lions that are taken from the Mulvey family coat of arms. The blue wavy bar across the center of the design represents the Colorado River that runs through the Diocese of Austin. It is taken from the arms of that diocese, the home diocese of Bishop Mulvey and the people of God he served for 35 years in many capacities, including as the diocesan administrator.
The three silver stars signify the heritage of Bishop Mulvey’s mother as well as the Most Holy Trinity. For his motto, Bishop Mulvey selected the phrase “Sententia in Christo Vobis.” This Latin phrase, derived from St. Paul’s letter to the Philippians (Phil 2:5), means essentially “have the same attitude in yourselves as is found in Christ” and expresses the bishop’s deep belief that in order to be a man of communion, our hearts must be moved by the same sentiments that moved the heart of Christ Jesus in his life and mission.

Lo stemma e il motto sono così presentati nella pagina di www.diocesecc.org:
The shield of Bishop Edmond Carmody symbolizes his family, his priestly and missionary service and his devotion to the people, especially to the poor. The green shield in the upper left corner of the bishop’s coat of arms is the color of hope and stands for his birthplace, Ireland. The gold cross that divides his shield is taken from the papal shield of Pope John Paul II and shows the bishop’s union with Rome and solidarity with the Holy Father.
In the upper right side of the shield is a silver star on a blue field. As with the coat of arms of former bishops of Corpus Christi, this star denotes the state of Texas, the site of his priestly vocation and episcopal ministry. The sprouting oak stump comes from the Carmody family crest and recalls the strength of the oak, its roots in the earth, that even though cut down to the stump is capable of generating new life. The green leaves signify new hope and life. The red of the background is for courage, readiness to suffer for the faith, even as the Carmody ancestors once were persecuted and martyred for their faith. Finally, next to the oak can be seen a condor in gold with red beak and claws on a field of green.
This majestic bird of the Andes represents Bishop Carmody’s five years of missionary service in Ecuador as a member of the Society of St. James the Apostle. The bird is strong, graceful and high flying. It is a near relative to Bishop Roberto O. González Nieves and also on the crest of the Carmody family. The red claw and beak is a sign of struggle, especially the struggle for independence by the Irish and the Ecuadorian people. By this sign the bishop seeks to ally himself with the poor and the powerless to defend and protect.
Unlike previous bishops, Bishop Carmody chose to express his motto in English—“With Christ all is Possible.” These words represent the bishop’s desire to be the instrument of Christ’s power going out to others, offering hope that is necessary to bring about needed change in people, society and the world

Lo stemma e il motto sono così presentati nella pagina di www.diocesecc.org:
The personal insignia of Bishop Rene H. Gracida depicts a series of blue and silver lozenges from the coat of arms of St. Vincent Benedictine Archabbey at Latrobe, Pennsylvania, where the bishop studied for the priesthood. The blue and silver diamonds give witness to the Bavarian origins of Abbot Boniface Wimmer under whose leadership at Latrobe the Benedictine Order grew in the United States.
The palm tree and the two crosses are taken from the coat of arms of the Archdiocese of Miami where Bishop Gracida was serving as Vicar General at the time of his call to the episcopacy. The two parts of his shield thus serve to identify the ecclesiastical lineage of the bishop both with regard to his priesthood and his episcopacy. His motto, “Abyssus Abyssum Invocat,” taken from Psalm 41:8 (Vulgate), is translated “Deep is calling to deep” and expresses the program and spirit of the bishop who from the depth of his heart seeks to hear the word that comes from the heart of the Lord that His will may be done.

The coat of arms prepared for Bishop Thomas J. Drury when he was consecrated a bishop is made up of a silver field with a green upper partition, bearing a Tau cross and stars, signifying his Irish ancestry as a son of County Sligo. In the principal portion are two crossed lances. As the reported instruments of martyrdom of St. Thomas the Apostle, the baptismal patron of Bishop Drury, the lances are tinctured in red, the liturgical color of martyrdom (blood). The lances also form the Greek letter “Chi,” the initial letter of “Christ,” for whom St. Thomas offered his life.
His motto “Deo Servire Regnare” was taken from the Post-Communion of the Votive Mass for Peace at the time of his consecration as a bishop and is translated “To Serve God is to reign.”

The black upper compartment of the bishop’s arms bears three golden crowns from the coat of arms of Cologne where the bishop was born. These three crowns celebrate the tradition that the three Wise Men (the Magi Kings) are buried in the Cologne Cathedral. In this regard the Star of Texas on the shield has a double significance as it also represents the star of Bethlehem that the wise men followed. The motto “Plenitudo Legis Dilectio” is taken from the epistle to the Romans 13:10 which can be translated “Love is the fulfillment of the law.” This was especially fitting for Bishop Marx who was a Doctor of Canon Law.

The coat of arms of Bishop Nussbaum which appears in the stain glass “The Manna in the Desert” contains on the left side the coat of arms of the newly erected Diocese of Corpus Christi–three ciborium (the vessels for holding the Eucharistic Body of Christ) on a field of red that represent the sacrifice of Christ who gave himself Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the Eucharist.
To the right on the seal is Bishop Nussbaum’s coat of arms. The top half of his seal holds the symbol of the Passionist Congregation of which he was a member. This symbol chosen by St. Paul of the Cross, founder of the Passionist Congregation, includes the branches of the palm and olive. The palm branch is a reminder of the Passion of Christ and his victory over sin and death. The olive branch is a reminder of his title as the Christ (the anointed one) since olive oil was used to make chrism by which the chosen were anointed. Inside the heart (surmounted by a cross) are the words “Jesu XPI (short for “Christi”) Passio”, i.e. the Passion of Jesus Christ.
The lower half of Bishop Nussbaum’s personal coat of arms contains a “walnut tree”—the meaning of his name “Nussbaum” (remember the Christmas carol “O Tannenbaum”—a “fir tree” and hence the kind of evergreen tree used for a Christmas tree). The motto of Bishop Nussbaum, “Passio Christi in Corporibus Nostris” refers to the words of St. Paul and reminds the members of the Passionist Congregation that we bear “the passion of Christ in our bodies”.

The coat of arms of Bishop Gerard L. Frey as third Bishop of Lafayette reflects the French tradition of the diocese as well as the origin of the Frey family in the region of Alsace.
The clasped hands at the top of the right half of the coat of arms symbolize the significance of the surname Frey which means “free” or “freedom”. The hands are joined to signify the brotherhood of man in the fatherhood of God, who has given the birthright of freedom to all men. The clasped hands give additional emphasis to the Bishop’s motto, “Serviam”, (I will serve) a willingness to serve all men. The motto also reiterates the role of a bishop prescribed in Vatican Council II. The theme of the council recalled Christ’s words, “The son of man has not come to be served but to serve, and to give His life as a ransom for man” (Mat. 20:28).
The rose represents the maiden name (DeRose) of the mother of the bishop. In all Latin languages, this surname means “the flower”. The star of six points is derived from the coat of arms of St. Pius X, who established the Confraternity of Christian Doctrine which Bishop Frey promoted in the Archdiocese of New Orleans.
The Frey family from the region of Alsace bears a golden sun and crescent (half moon) on a blue field. For the sake of simplicity, the crescent has been removed but the sun and blue field of the family coat of arms have been retained.
The external ornaments of the shield are composed of the pontifical hat with its six tassels on each side, disposed in three rows, all in green, and the Episcopal cross, tinctured in gold.

stemma della Diocesi di Savannah
Il motto e lo stemma sono così presentati nella pagina di diosav.org
Motto: "Christus In Corde" (Christ in the heart) is adapted from the breastplate of St. Patrick: "Christ be in the heart of each to whom I speak, Christ be in the heart of each who speaks to me." The Latin words chosen can be either a statement or a wish, implying some form of "to be" -- either "is" or "be," or both -- and applies to the bishop himself, as well as to those to whom he ministers.Blazon: Impaled Arms: On the dexter for the Diocese of Savannah; Argent on a cross gules, a rose or between four mullets azure. On the sinister for Bishop Boland; Azure a round tower or, on a chief of the last, a lion passant gules langued and armed of the first.
Significance: The entire "achievement" or coat of arms, as it is generally called, is composed of the shield with its charges, the motto and the external ornaments. As one looks at the shield, the terms dexter and sinister must be understood contrariwise, as the shield was worn the arm in medieval days, and these terms were used in relationship of the one behind the armor.
The dexter impalement, on the left of the viewer, bears, according to custom in ecclesiastical heraldry, the jurisdictional arms of the Diocese of Savannah. Its background is silver (argent). The cross of red (gules), also called the Cross of St. George, symbolizes the state of Georgia which was named for King George II. The four blue (azure) stars signify that Georgia was the fourth state to ratify the Constitution of the United States. The gold (or) rose represents the Cherokee rose which is Georgia's state flower and is also associated with the Rose of Sharon as well as Mary, the Mystical Rose.
The sinister impalement, on the right of the viewer, displays the personal Arms of Bishop Boland. By combining the personal Arms on the same shield with those of the Diocese of Savannah, the spiritual unity of the Bishop with his flock is signified, a thought also conveyed by the ring which the Bishop wears on his right hand. The personal Arms of Bishop Boland consist of a blue (azure) shield charged with a round tower of gold (or), representative of St. Kevin, the bishop's patron saint who founded a monastic settlement at Glendalough, County Wicklow, where a round tower can be found to this day. In the "chief," or upper portion of the shield, is a red (gules) lion in a walking position with tongue and claws of blue. The chief and lion are found in the Arms of the Irish sept of Boland and the lion also commemorates the sept of O'Brien, the bishop's maternal family.
Behind the Arms is placed a gold processional cross for which Bishop Boland has chosen a Celtic cross signifying his homeland. Ensigning the whole achievement is a pontifical hat with it six tassels on each side disposed in three rows, all in green. These are the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop in accordance with the Instruction of the Holy See, dated 31 March, 1969. Before 1870 the pontifical hat was worn at solemn cavalcades held in conjunction with papal ceremonies. The color of the hat and the number of tassels were signs of the rank of the prelate, a custom still preserved in ecclesiastical heraldry.
