Bishop Hafey was Bishop Watersʼ predecessor as national chaplain to the Catholic Daughters. At their 25th biennial convention, following Bishop Hafeyʼs death, the CDA gave $5,000.00 for a fitting memorial to their former chaplain. Professor Enrico Del Bono, of lʼArte del Marmo in Florence, Italy, is the sculptor. It was Professor Del Bono, who executed the marble altars in Our Lady of Grace Church, Greensboro. (...)

Our Lady of North Carolina

O Holy Family of Nazareth, community of love of Jesus, to Thee, we entrust in a special way our Bishop and the priests of our diocese. Strengthen their faith and love of our Blessed Lord in the Most Blessed Sacrament, so that they may turn to Him for the grace they need to live a life faithful to their calling.

Our Lady of North Carolina, increase the ranks of our priests by inspiring our young people to be more generous in their response to serve Our Blessed Lord in the priesthood and in religious life. Amen
