Erle O. Blair, of Chicago, supervised its design and development as a cemetery, while Bishop Hubert Cartwright was serving as Coadjutor and Chairman of the Diocesan Building Commission and Msgr. Paul Taggart was Director of Diocesan Cemeteries.
Bishop Michael W. Hyle, as his first official act, blessed the grounds on November 1, 1958.
The five bronze shrines were created by Egidio Giaroli of Rome, Italy, with the generous assistance of Father Roberto Balducelli, O. S. F. S.
For these, for all others who aided in the planning and development of this cemetery, and for all who rest here we ask your prayerful thanks and remembrance.
Erected by Catholic Diocese of Wilmington.
