DECEMBER 10, 1932 THE BULLETIN OF THE CATHOLIC LAYMEN’S ASSOCIATION OF GEORGIA 3 Nazareth Orphanage of the Diocese of Raleigh BOYS’ BUILDING SCHOOL CHAPEL REFRECTORY CONVENT GIRLS’ BUILDING “Lourdes at Nazareth” In Memory of Founder, Rev. Thomas F. Price Orphanage at Nazareth One of the Finest in the South Erection of Splendid Group of Buildings One of First and Greatest Achievements of Bishop Hafey in N. Carolina Since coming to North Carolina eight years ago as the first Bishop of Raleigh, the Most Rev. William J. Hafey, D. D., has made a record of achievement which has attracted more than national attention, but he has perhaps done nothing which will earn him a more permanent place in the hearts of the people of North Carolina, Catholic and non-Catholic, than his erection of the splendid group of buildings housing the home-. less little ones of the Diocese. Father Thomas F. Price of sainted memory, a founder of the Interna tional Catholic Truth Society and of the Maryknoll Missioners, who died while laboring as missionary in the distant Orient, was the founder of Nazareth, and he was succeeded, when he left for the foreign mis sion field, by Father George Woods, who built splendidly and solidly on Father Price's foundation. When Bishop Hafey came, he deemed the time ripe for a new plant for the orphanage, and by transforming his thought into action, in his characteristic vigorous and able fashion, the new buildings were soon rearing their walls into the skies, and on the Feast of the Immaculate Conception. 1927. five years ago this week, they were dedicated. It was a day of great rejoicing not only for the little ones but for the Catholics of the Diocese and indeed for the State of North Carolina. The buildings must be seen to be appreciated, but the picture gives some idea of their spaciousness. Bish op Hafey erected a building for girls at Nazareth; previously only the boys were housed there. The build ings, plans for which were drawn by Father Michael. O. S. B.. of Bel mont. noted ecclesiastical architect, are fire proof and have the latest appliances. There is a central heat ing plant, a farm of one hundred and seventy-five acres, with a herd of cattle producing two quarts of milk a day for each child, and other evi dences of one of the best conduct ed orphanages in the country—noth ing luxurious but everything which can be secured to make the little ones happy and comfortable. But even more significant that the fine physical equipment is the spirit at Nazareth, the spirit of the Holy Family. Rev. John P. Manley is su perintendent, and Rev. Francis A. Scheurich and Rev. L. A. Ruth his assistants. The Sisters of Mercy have cared for the little ones at Nazareth from the beginning, in humble surroundings as well as in the present fine ones, and under their tender and self-sacrificing min istrations the homeless little boys and girls grow in body and mind to ward the day when they will take their place in the world, splendidly trained to do their duty to both their God and their country. To support Nazareth, in a Diocese of slightly more than eight thousand Catholics, is a gigantic task, but it is one lightened by the numerous friends of the orphanage in the larg er centers of Catholic population, friends the little ones never forget in their prayers.
