Daniel J. Dever, who served as superintendent of Hawaii Catholic schools for 42 years, dies By Patrick Downes Hawaii Catholic Herald sgr. Daniel J. Dever, Hawaii’s former superintendent of MCatholic schools who held the job for a record-breaking 42 years serving under four bishops and five popes, died on Oct. 19 at Pohai Nani Care Center in Kaneohe after a lengthy illness. He was 14 days shy of his 86th birthday and a priest of the Diocese of Honolulu for 59 years. More than a school system administrator, Msgr. De- ver served Hawaii as a philosopher, an ethicist, a vision- ary, a lover of art, an advocate for justice and a spokes- man for peace. He was also a spiritual director, a pastor, a Newman Club director, and chaplain and gardener for Oahu’s community of Carmelite nuns. His tenure rode the tide of major transitions in the church, through the momentous changes brought by the Second Vatican Council and the transformation of Hawaii’s Catholic School system from the responsibility of religious congregations to mostly that of lay educa- tors. In 1994, Hawaii’s Buddhists named him a “Living Treasure of Hawaii.” Daniel Joseph Dever was born on Nov. 2, 1925, in Sea Isle, N.J., the son of a boat builder.

Because his town did not have a Catholic school, he received a public grade school education be- fore enrolling at the Pontifical Jo- sephinum Seminary in Worthing- ton, Ohio. Josephinum was a Vatican- run U.S. seminary that trained its graduates to serve in dio- ceses across America that needed priests. A recruiting visit to the semi- nary by Honolulu Bishop James J. Sweeney while Dever was a stu- dent there convinced him to sign up for Hawaii. He joked in a 1965 interview that he chose Honolulu “because I thought it was less likely to mean an office assignment.” Before that he was considering Salt Lake City. Father Dever was ordained on June 7, 1952, by Archbishop Am- leto G. Cigcongnani, the apostolic delegate to the United States who would later become the Vatican Secretary of State.

  • Conforti: Early Years and Priestly Formation
    Conforti: Early Years and Priestly Formation Guido Conforti was the eighth of ten children of Rinaldo Conforti and Antonia Adorni. He was born on March 30 1865 at Casalora di Ravadese, in the midst of a fertile land of Parma, Italy. All the educational efforts undertaken by his parents geared toward a specific goal, dreamed by his father: to have his son be the future administrator of the farm and its properties. Guido attended the school of the Christian Brothers in Parma, and he could have very well been a successful manager. On the way to school, Guido developed the habit to stop in prayer in front of a huge Crucifix in the Church of Peace. There was an intense conversation among the two of them: ‘I looked at Him, and He looked at me, and it seemed he was telling me many things’ used to retell later Guido Conforti when he became bishop. In that meeting with the Crucifix, Guido felt called to the priesthood. We can just imagine the opposition of his father Rinaldo when Guido shared the news of entering the local seminary. But through the support he found in his mother, and the strength he received from his daily dialogues with the Crucifix, Guido seemed very determined. While in the Seminary, Guido lived an austere life, detached from his natural family, for seldom he received visits from his parents. But he was also experiencing some nervous related illness. He would pass out for a few hours, and he seemed out of breath. This almost precluded his priesthood ordination.
