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 Irish Hyle family bears a silver shield charged with a black fess, between three mullets (stars of five points) also in black. These arms have been differenced in tincture and by the addition of a charge to make them peculiar to the Bishop. Black has been replaced by blue that the Marian colors, blue and silver, might prevail on the Bishop's shield in the centennial of the apparitions of Our Lady at Lourdes, the year of the Bishop's appointment to the hierarchy.

A fish from the arms of the Irish McClosky family has been charged on the fess to honor the Prelate's mother. The McCloskys of County Derry, a branch of the O'Kanes, are descended from Blosky O'Kane. All armigerous branches of the McCloskeys bear fish on their arms.

The motto: Quis ut Deus? urhich means "Who is like unto God?" is Latin for the Hebrew Mi-cha-el, the baptismal name of the Bishop.
