Motto: Alias oves habeo

Origin/meaning

As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop.

The personal arms of the Bishop are taken from the ancient coat of the Russell family of Ireland, with one change and one addition: In the chief the three trefoils are substituted for the escallop shells, in honor of the Bishop's rectorship of St. Patrick's Church in Washington, D. C.; the lion has been marked with one of the escallop shells from the arms of the Patterson family, to honor his mother and as a symbol of affection.

The motto is taken from the Gospel of St. John, chapter 10, verse 16.
