Born in Chicago, Hayes completed a BA in philosophy in 1956 from Quincy University and a ThD in 1964 from the University of Bonn, in Germany. While there, one of his professors was Fr. Joseph Ratzinger, the future Pope Benedict XVI, and of whom Fr. Hayes was the first to translate Ratzinger’s habilitation into English.[1]

In 1974, he was appointed Full Professor of Systematic theology at the Catholic Theological Union where he taught for 37 years, beginning as one of the founding professors in 1968.[2][3]

He has published 16 books and 55 articles.[3] A festschrift was prepared in his honor, entitled That Others May Know and Love (1997).[4]
