Lo stemma e il motto sono così presentati nella pagina di www.sale.catholic-org.au
Bishop Ryan used a couple of different coats of arms, one featuring a white lighthouse on rocks with a red background. The final version featured a coronet designating his appointment as Assistant Bishop on the Papal Throne and Count of the Holy Roman Empire by Pope Pius XII by his papal brief dated July 29, 1948. The left hand side takes the lion holding a pointed cross and the three wavy stars from the Diocese of Sale arms, while the right hand side features three griffin heads. (The lion has been drawn with a head which could be mistaken for a griffin and its front leg also looks more like a griffin which may explain that for some years it was thought the diocese arms featured a griffin). The motto Evangelizare Pauperibus Misit Me translates as “He sent me to evangelise the poor" and appears on all of his coats of arms. The motto is a Vincentian motto which dates to the time of St Vincent and is based on Luke 4:18.
