Arms of Joseph Albert FeeneyBlazonSable a cross Vert fimbriated Argent interlaced with an annulet Or, in the dexter chief an axe and a sword in saltire proper, hilt and pommel Or; SymbolismThe Canadian Heraldic Authority does not have confirmed symbolism for this emblem. The following comments are hypotheses only. The cross refers to Monsignor Feeney’s calling as a priest. The ring possibly refers to a whole note and, therefore, his work in music education. |
CrestBlazonA Celtic cross Or on a rock proper; SymbolismThe cross recalls Monsignor Feeney’s vocation as a priest. Its Celtic design alludes to his Irish heritage. |
MottoBlazonPER IPSUM, CUM IPSO, IN IPSO; SymbolismThis Latin phrase means “Through Him, with Him, in Him.” A reference to Christ, it is taken from the Eucharistic doxology at the end of the Canon of the Mass, and thus refers to Monsignor Feeney’s calling as a priest. |
