Lo stemma e il motto sono così presentati nella pagina di www.sale.catholic.org.au
His episcopal coat of arms featuring a purple field and rampant lion comes from the Irish branch of the Lyons family and the cross held by the lion is a Latin cross which signifies Rome where the bishop was ordained a priest. His motto Christis Vincit translates as Christ Conquers and comes from the inscription carved on the base of a obelisk of Egyptian granite which stands in the centre of the great Piazza of St Peter in Rome. The obelisk is supported by four lions and was brought to Rome by the Emperor Caligua from the Temple of the Sun at Heliopolis. During solemn ceremonies in the Bascilica of St Peter, the motet Christus Vincit is a feature of the sacred music.
