Origin/meaning

As common in US episcopal heraldry, the arms show the arms of the diocese impaled with the personal arms of the bishop, here for Atlanta. As auxiliary bishop the arms are not impaled.

The Wolves in Bishop Hyland's personal Arms symbolises the Gaelic From of the Name Hyland which is derived from Faolan which means Wolf. The black colour symbolises the family of the mother of the Bishop - McCarron of the Gaelic Ciar = Black. The fleur-de-lys symbolises the Baptismal Patron of Bishop Hyland - St Francis de Sales, the tinctures are the colours of St. Mary.

The Motto translates as "To Jesus through Mary".

The achievement is completed with the heraldic insignia of a prelate of the rank of bishop by instruction of the Holy See, of March 1969, confirmed in March 2001.
