The new Bishop's coat of arms, designed by Mr. Robert Walsh of Boston, is pictured on this page. The surface or field of the shield is blue, when the coat of arms is drawn in color. It contains three charges or devices, a crown, spears, and shamrocks. The first two of these, the golden crown and the three silver spears, are an allusion to the family name of Minihan. The crown is taken from the shield of Munster (Eire) , since the surname Minihan means in Gaelic "descendants of Munster men." The three spears recall an ancient legend concerning the forebears of the Bishop's family, who were of the O'Driscoll sept. After they had returned to Munster from a defensive expe· clition in a neighboring province, they alone retained the surname Minihan.

EM. 3-0060 wo. 6-0095 4 GEORGETOWN UNIVERSITY ALUMNI MAGAZINE The three silver shamrocks, which are set upon the blue field around the crown, are a tribute to the late William Cardinal O'Connell, Archbishop of Boston from 1907 to 1944, whose coat of arms bore these three charges in green and silver. Bishop Minihan served His Eminence as Secretary and as Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Boston. In the upper compartment of the s hield a red ship is placed upon a silver background. This refers to the Bishop's descent from O'Driscolls, who before the twelfth century were the first famil y of South Munster and whose si lver shield bore a two masted ship.
