History
- On March 3, 1868, the Apostolic Vicariate of North Carolina was set up in a separate area of ââthe Diocese of Charleston under the ecclesiastical authority of Bishop James Gibbons, who later became Cardinal of the Archbishop. Baltimore.
- In 1888, Parish Priest Leo Haid, O.S.B., Benedictine Belmont Chief Priest was named Apostolic Vicar of North Carolina. He also continued as Belmont Abbey Abbess.
- On June 8, 1910, the vicariate lost territory to establish an illegal Abbot number from Belmont-Mary Help of Christians. Bishop Haid now holds three titles: Belmont Abbey, North Carolina Vikaris-Apostolic, and Belmont Abbey Nullius Conventions.
- On December 12, 1924, Pope Pius XI established Raleigh diocese to include all of North Carolina with the exception of eight districts at Nullius Monastery of Belmont. The Holy See offered in 1910 to establish in Wilmington a diocese for North Carolina with St. Catholic Church. Mary as a cathedral, but Menstruate refuses to move to the beach, a necessary action if the diocese will be established there. North Carolina remained the Apostolic Vicariate until 1924, when Bishop Haid died. Father William Hafey, Chancellor of the Archdiocese of Batlimore, was named after the first bishop of Raleigh. The new diocese covers nearly 46,000 miles and contains 8,254 Catholics. In the diocese there are twenty-four churches with permanent priests, forty mission churches being cared for by parish priests, and other "stations", where church structures are absent but priests come to celebrate the sacrament. The diocese has twenty-three diocesan priests, twenty-eight priests in religious orders, and 127 religious nuns.
- He obtained the territory twice: in 1944 seven Abbasi nullius districts of Belmont-Mary Help of Christian were added to the Diocese and in June 1960 Abbacy nullius was reduced to the base of the Temple.
- On 12 November 1971, Nullius was suppressed and part of the Diocese of Charlotte.
Bishops
Bishop William Hafey
William J. Hafey, a thirty-seven-year-old priest, became the first bishop in Raleigh. Prior to its installation on 1 July 1925, Archbishop Michael Joseph Curley of Baltimore supervised the diocese. As a bishop, Hafey travels frequently, inside and outside the diocese, seeking both servants and money for the bishopric. Many men and women hear the request for help and come to the diocese as priests and religious. The financial contributions Hafey received assisted the diocese, some of whom bought land for the churches. In 1937, Hafey became bishop of Scranton, Pennsylvania, leaving the diocese with 52 parishes, 53 diocesan priests, 26 religious order priests, and 10,571 Catholics.
Bishop Eugene McGuinness
Eugene J. McGuinness replaced Bishop Hafey, installed on January 6, 1938. McGuinness, a Pennsylvania pastor, is also president of the Catholic Church Extension Society, an organization that collects and dispenses financial aid to small and poor dioceses. As a bishop of North Carolina, McGuinness continues to seek financial aid, this time for his diocese. In 1944, he asked to be moved to Oklahoma, and his petition was granted. He left the diocese with 86 parishes, 83 diocesan priests, 59 religious priests, 238 religious sisters, and 12,922 Catholics.
Bishop Vincent Waters
Vincent S. Waters became the third bishop of Raleigh diocese. In 1945, he left the missionary area of ââVirginia where he served as a priest and came as a bishop to the Raleigh diocese's mission center. He has many goals. Waters wanted the salvation of all people and the conversion of all the Northern Carolinians. To increase conversion, he started Apostolic Missionaries. Apostolic Missionaries are a four-part program that uses the energy of seminarians and priests to spread Catholicism. The first aspect of Apostleship is the Summer Census. Every summer, seminarians go to different areas of North Carolina, take down Catholics and share Catholic information. The second aspect of Apostleship is Apostolic year, where newly ordained priests spend their first year of priesthood in the older priest's parish serving in parish missions. The third part of Apostolate is the Apostolate Trailer. Traveling in a trailer to the countryside, two priests remain in one place for two weeks, teaching Catholics and celebrating the sacrament. Two trailers in the diocese each have chapels, living spaces, areas to visit, and outdoor altars. The fourth aspect of Apostolic Missionaries is the Mission Band. Waters placed two Raleigh priests in two separate parishes outside the diocese where they preached and asked for donations for Raleigh diocese. Priests who live in the diocese plan a retreat for North Carolina Catholics. These four aspects comprise the Apostolic Missionaries of Waters. To change the entire state, Waters encouraged every Church to change one North Carolinian to every adult congregation. This goal does not materialize. Waters was more successful in establishing a Catholic church in every region. At the time of his death, seventy-five of the hundred North Carolina counties contained churches, although many of them were missions, lacking a priest for lack of priests. Waters also want to increase the number and size of parish schools. Initially successful, the schools increased from fifteen to sixty-four, but after the Second Vatican Council, that number decreased, even though Waters was still a bishop. Waters began to end the separation in the diocese of June 1953, despite opposition from the North Carolinians. The Holy Redeemer Parish at Newton Grove, run by the Redemptorist priest, became the first church of any denomination in North Carolina to be integrated. On Independence Day Weekend 1966, Waters himself celebrated the first Integrated Mass. No riots occurred, but tensions increased and both church and school suffered a loss of closed numbers and the Redemptorists left. Later, the church reopened as Our Lady of Guadalupe and operates to this day. In 1954, Latin Cathedral High School welcomed the first black students, thus becoming a junior high school in North Carolina to integrate. St. Monica, a school for black children, joined the white cathedral School in 1966. Waters sought to preserve the pious Catholic tradition. Unhappy that some religious nuns stopped wearing their customs, Waters wrote letters in 1971 asking that the nuns wear their habits or leave the diocese. Some religious nuns maintain their customs and continue to serve; others leave the diocese. Waters also requires his ministers to wear their clerics in public. Although some people, religious and laity, dislike Waters's rigidity and traditionalism, others support Waters as he preserves Church traditions. While Waters is a bishop, the diocese grows. This increased physically, after receiving the 1960 Abbey Nullius as his own property. The diocese covers all of North Carolina except Belmont Abbey, which remains its own diocese under the supervision of the abbot. The diocese has three auxiliary bishops during the Waters episode: James Johnston Navagh (1952-1957), Charles Borromeo McLaughlin (1964-1968) and George Edward Lynch (1970-1985). Raleigh diocese is also growing; in 1972, the diocese houses more than 70,000 Catholics. Pope Paul VI granted Waters petitions and split Raleigh diocese, establishing the Diocese of Charlotte to western North Carolina. Raleigh diocese descended from about 46,000 miles to the current size of about 32,000 miles, stretching from Burlington, just east of Greensboro, to the Atlantic Coast. After nearly thirty years as a bishop of Raleigh, Waters died of a heart attack in 1974, leaving North Carolina with 78 diocesan priests, 76 religious order priests, and 77,834 Catholics.
Bishop Francis Joseph Gossman
Bishop Gossman, from Baltimore, Maryland, became bishop of the diocese of Raleigh diocese on May 19, 1975. Gossman relied on the advice of others when making decisions. He encourages "collegiality," lay and women's assistance in Church duties. Gossman asks the faithful to help by exercising their faith every day and helping those in need. He also welcomed their help in the position of the bishopric. Religious sisters become pastoral administrators. Sr. Evelyn Mattern, directs the Peace Office and Justcie. In 1992, John Riedy became the first lay chancellor in the diocese. Gossman retired in 2006 after leading Raleigh diocese for over thirty years. During Gossman's years as bishop, the diocese was expanded with more than 50 parishes and the number of Catholics tripled; The diocese has 192,000 registered Catholics in 2006.
Bishop Michael Burbidge
Bishop Burbidge, archbishop of Philadelphia (2002-2006), became the fifth bishop of Raleigh diocese. Burbidge is known for his loyalty to the Church and his familiarity with the people in his diocese. In the fall of 2007, he started the Diocese of Raleigh Home Mission Society. Bishop Burbidge was appointed Bishop of Arlington on 4 October 2016. The diocese has stopped accepting donations from the Catholic Church Counseling Institute in 2000 for collecting huge sums of money, but many people, Hispanics, northern Catholics and military families, immigrated to North Carolina. The bishopric needs more larger churches. Burbidge started the Home Mission Society to help raise funds for church building in the North Carolina mission area. Bishop Burbridge presided over the construction of the Sacred Cathedral, which he dedicated to on July 16, 2017, seven months after he became Bishop of Arlington, Virginia.
Bishop Luis Rafael Zarama
Bishop Zarama, the extra bishop of Atlanta (2009-2017), became the sixth bishop of Raleigh diocese.

Religious Women in the Diocese
Women Religion has made an invaluable contribution to the life and growth of the Catholic Church in North Carolina. Sisters of Mercy from Charleston, South Carolina, moved to Wilmington in 1862 to treat the victims of the Yellow Fever epidemic. In 1869, this same nun opened the "Incarnation Academy" (now called St. Mary's School). The Sisters are also credited with opening schools in the western part of our country, including: St. Patrick School (Charlotte - 1888), Academy of the Sacred Heart (Belmont - 1892), and School of the Sacred Heart (Salisbury - 1910). The Sisters of Mercy (Belmont) is a community of religious women working in our country whose parent house is also located here.
Both orphanages in Belmont, North Carolina, and Raleigh, North Carolina are managed by Sister of Mercy of North Carolina. The last five years of the Catholic Orphanage at Nazareth Street in Raleigh, North Carolina is served by the Sisters of Notre Dame, Chardon, Ohio.
Other women's religious communities also answer the call to serve in North Carolina. Religion of Christian Education opened St. Genevieve of the Asheville Pines Academy, in 1908. Equally prolific, the Dominican Sisters in Newburgh, New York, became staff of the Catholic School at Newton Grove in 1907, founded the Sacred Heart Academy (now Cathedral School and Cardinal Gibbons High School) in Raleigh - 1909, and began the Immaculata School in Durham in 1909. In 1926, the Sisters, Immaculate Conception of Mary, Scranton, PA, St. Joseph, New Bern, to be "colored" by children. "The school was opened by Pastor Thomas Frederick Prince in 1887 and managed by the layman to IHM Sisters came in. In 1927 they also set up a school that serves black children in Goldsboro and Washington, North Carolina and the school of New Bern (St. Paul's) and a school in Raleigh (St. Monica's).
