Arms
design and rendition by
The Armorial Register
The colours Blue and
White reflect those of
the Kentucky State flag.
The fleurs-de-lis
represent the city of
Louisville, the
armiger’s birthplace.
The Sacred Heart of Mary
of Our Lady of Sorrows
refers to the armiger’s
Catholic faith and the
seven sorrows of Mary.
The armiger’s Marian
connection became
important through his
Catholic School, the
seven sorrows helping to
shape Christianity. The
skull is a remembrance
of mortality and the bee
illustrative of
community and industry,
regeneration, wisdom and
obedience. The anchor
signifies the armiger’s
ancestors journey to
America along with hope,
the Cross and God’s
Promise with Noah.
The white stag of the
crest is a messenger and
protector of all
creatures acting with
piety. The eye upon the
sun is the All-Seeing
Eye; God Sees everything
and is always with us.
The
Claddagh ring is a
symbol of Irish Heritage
and represents love,
loyalty, and friendship.
