The Right Reverend Giles Hayes, OSB (79) the Tenth Abbot of St. Mary’s Abbey in Morristown, New Jersey (founded in 1884 as St. Mary’s Abbey in Newark, a daughter house of St. Vincent Archabbey in Pennsylvania and later moved to Morristown) passed away on March 7, 2018.
He was elected Abbot in 2006 at which time he commissioned me to design and execute his abbatial coat of arms. He led the community until 2014.
The arms of the Abbey (in the first and fourth quarters above) are clearly based on those of the community’s motherhouse.
May he Rest in Peace.
EXARANDORUM 
A lovely coat of arms and well executed. I especially enjoy the quartering to show jurisdiction. I know that’s not as common in American ecclesiastical heraldry, but I find it visually appealing and actually superior at some points when trying to marshal two coats of arms together.
May the Lord Abbot rest in peace.
