  • The Coat of Arms of the MOST REVEREND KEVIN J
    The Coat of Arms of THE MOST REVEREND KEVIN J. FARRELL, D.D. Bishop of Dallas BLAZON (heraldic description): Arms impaled. In the dexter: Gules, on a fess per bend wavy Argent three fleurs de lis Azure, in the sinister chief two crossed swords Argent, in the dexter base a molet Argent. In the sinister: Per fess Or and Azure, a lion rampant per fess Gules and Or, standing on a mound of rock Argent. SIGNIFICANCE: The dexter impalement (on the observer’s left) displays the arms of the Diocese of Dallas. The red field honors the Sacred Heart. The diagonal wavy band with three fleurs de lis represents the Trinity River, named by early Spanish explorers, which flows through the diocese. The fleur de lis appears on the coat of arms of Pope Leo XIII, who established the Diocese of Dallas in 1890. The two silver swords in the upper right honor St. Paul, patron of the first permanent Catholic settlement in northeast Texas. The sword was the instrument of St. Paul's martyrdom. The star in the lower left locates Dallas in Texas, the Lone Star State. The sinister impalement displays the arms of Bishop Farrell. The lion rampant honors Theodore Cardinal McCarrick, Archbishop emeritus of Washington, and the Irish sept of O'Farrell. In the upper portion of the shield, gold (yellow) and the lion (red) are derived from the Arms of Cardinal McCarrick, whom Bishop Farrell assisted as Auxiliary Bishop of Washington. The lower portion of the lion in gold (yellow) derives from the Irish sept of O'Farrell.

    http://kentarchaeology.org.uk/research/archaeologia-cantiana/ Kent Archaeological Society is a registered charity number 223382 © 2017 Kent Archaeological Society (By courier,/ of " Cowgirl, We." THE BROOKE TOMB, COBHAM, (From the H.E.) THE BROOKE TOMB, COBHAM superintendence has been given by Charles Spence Esq, of the Admiralty, Chatham (who indeed has spared neither time, trouble nor workman- ship in the operations) and by Mr. John Gough Nichols." In 1866, Charles Roach Smith, F.S.A., of Temple Farm, Strood, writes to the same periodical to tell how J. G. Waller had recently restored all Cobham monuments, and giving details. In 1840, apparently, the tomb "had all its fragments carefully put together and the general architectural features, which had been lost by the destruction of the columns, were restored in plaster of Paris." The final restoration was begun by a Mr. Richardson (I of metallic heelball fame) and completed by Waller. "No part of the old work has been tampered with; even the smallest fragment of heraldic colour has been preserved . and every part of new work added is given from fragments carefully preserved in the repairs of 1840." It will be observed that there is no other indication of Ha,sted's suggested canopy of marble. As reconstructed, the monument has no space for columns to support a canopy, and it would seem Hasted was misled by the broken and detached Ionic columns which belonged to the sides. In no account is there reference to the iron grille which now surrounds the tomb. The tomb is described by Waller in Archreologia Cantiana, Vol.

  • Guidelines for Heraldry 1
    Guidelines for Heraldry 1 Coats of arms and other heraldic devices may occur in any section a Church Record, carved in stone or wood, engraved on silver, printed on bookplates or covers, adorning textiles, pictures, tiles or windows. Most Recorders will need expert help in order to blazon (ie to describe in proper terms) the arms correctly. Aim to record coats of arms accurately. Do what you can to identify the arms, making it quite clear whether the identification is correct or whether it is questionable and whether the bearer was indeed entitled to the arms displayed. Recording When recording armorial bearings always enlist the help of someone with knowledge of heraldry. Do not use heraldic terms or attempt blazoning until you have consulted a local expert (see list held by your Group Leader). Ask them to blazon the heraldry, sending a clear colour photograph of the arms (with SAE) or a digital image via email if they cannot visit the church. Acknowledge the expert’s assistance in the Record. You may have a shield or a crest only, a shield with crest, or a whole achievement, which has a helmet and draperies (mantling) between shield and crest, and perhaps supporters at the sides, a motto beneath, occasionally the insignia of an order. See illustration in Inside Churches, Heraldry section. Often a shield will show the arms of two families side by side, those on the dexter (left hand for the viewer) being the husband’s arms impaling the arms of his wife on the sinister (right hand for the viewer).

  • HISTORY of the NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE for GIRL SCOUTS and CAMP FIRE by Virginia Reed
    Revised 3/11/2019 HISTORY OF THE NATIONAL CATHOLIC COMMITTEE FOR GIRL SCOUTS AND CAMP FIRE By Virginia Reed The present National Catholic Committee for Girl Scouts and Camp Fire dates back to the early days of the Catholic Youth Organization (CYO) and the National Catholic Welfare Conference. Although it has functioned in various capacities and under several different names, this committee's purpose has remained the same: to minister to the Catholic girls in Girl Scouts (at first) and Camp Fire (since 1973). Beginnings The relationship between Girl Scouting and Catholic youth ministry is the result of the foresight of Juliette Gordon Low. Soon after founding the Girl Scout movement in 1912, Low traveled to Baltimore to meet James Cardinal Gibbons and consult with him about her project. Five years later, Joseph Patrick Cardinal Hayes of New York appointed a representative to the Girl Scout National Board of Directors. The cardinal wanted to determine whether the Girl Scout program, which was so fine in theory, was equally sound in practice. Satisfied on this point, His Eminence publicly declared the program suitable for Catholic girls. In due course, the four U.S. Cardinals and the U.S. Catholic hierarchy followed suit. In the early 1920's, Girl Scout troops were formed in parochial schools and Catholic women eagerly became leaders in the program. When CYO was established in the early 1930's, Girl Scouting became its ally as a separate cooperative enterprise. In 1936, sociologist Father Edward Roberts Moore of Catholic charities, Archdiocese of New York, studied and approved the Girl Scout program because it was fitting for girls to beome "participating citizens in a modern, social democracy." This support further enhanced the relationship between the Catholic church and Girl Scouting.

  • Archbishop Carlson
    Most Rev. Carlson's Coat of Arms Motto: ANTE CRUCEM NIHIL DEFENSIONIS | Before the Cross there is no Defense The arms of a diocesan bishop are displayed on a heraldic shield divided vertically into two portions. The arms of the Catholic Diocese of Saginaw are the dexter impalement shown on the half of the shield to the viewer's left. The arms of the Bishop Carlson are on the sinister impalement, to the viewer's right. The personal arms of Bishop Carlson were designed by the Rev. James Parker. The "garb" is the heraldic representation of the sheaf of wheat and represents the bishop's native city of Minneapolis, Minn., known as the "Miller of the Midwest". The field of green suggests the great plains of South Dakota as well as the liturgical color for growth in the Faith. On the field, on either side of the sheaf of wheat are a crescent and a Latin Cross. The silver crescent represents Mary Immaculate and the Cross represents the bishop's faith committment and his mission to the faithful entrusted to his care. The heraldic cheif at the top of the shield is taken from the family arms of the bishop. The wavy bars in the base of the shield represent the Sioux River and the bishop's service in the Diocese of Sioux Falls. The scroll, bearing the bishop's motto is placed below the shield. As his watchword, the bishop chose: ANTE CRUCEM NIHIL DEFENSIONIS, which means "Before the Cross there is no defense". The entire achievement is completed by the addition of a gold processional cross that extends above and below the shield and a green ecclesiastical hat, the galero, with six tassles on each side disposed in three rows on either side of the shield.

GOD THE FATHER Hand (Manus Dei) The hand of God (Manus Dei) is used as a symbol of God the Father. It was virtually the only symbol for God used during the first eight centuries of the church. The hand symbolizes God's ownership of and providence for all of creation, and comes from the many references to the 'hand of God' in the Bible. The 'Manus Dei' may take other forms. A hand clutching five persons indicates God's care and concern for people. A hand with the thumb, index and middle fingers extended with the others folded back on the palm is a Latin form symbolic of the Trinity. A hand with index finger extended, middle finger curled to form a 'C', thumb crossed over the ring finger and little finger curled into another 'C'; forms the letters IX XC, an abbreviation for the Greek name of Jesus Christ.
