Arms of Dom Henry O'Shea OSB
I have added today to the HSS galleries the splendid arms of Dom Henry O'Shea OSB, a Benedictine monk of Glenstal and a Chaplain to the Order of Malta. He inherited the arms from his great-grandfather, Sir Henry O'Shea who was granted them by the Ulster Office in March 1916.
The blazon is a model of artistic economy:
Party per pale indented Or and Vert two fleurs-de-lys in fess counterchanged.

Today's heraldic saint: St Edmund Campion (1540-1581)
Badge granted to Campion House, St Aloysius' College, Glasgow, by the Lord Lyon in 2006:

| Badge made by Fattorini of Birmingham |
"And touching our Societie, be it known to you that we have made a
league----all the Jesuits in the world, whose succession and multitude
must overreach all the practices of England----cheerfully to carry the
cross you shall lay upon us, and never to despair your recovery, while
we have a man left to enjoy your Tyburn, or to be racked with your
torments, or consumed with your prisons. The expense is reckoned,
the enterprise is begun; it is of God, it cannot be withstood.
So the Faith was planted: so it must be restored."
