After years of devotion and prayers, the cause for the beatification of Father McGivney, the founder of the Knights of Columbus, has reached a significant milestone. On Saturday, Oct. 31st 2020, Fr. McGivney was officially declared Blessed by the Catholic Church.
I am delighted to hear this wonderful news, not only for the Knights of Columbus, but the whole International Alliance of Catholic Knights, that Fr Michael McGivney is to be beatified later this year.
Pope Benedict XV1 has declared Venerable the founder of the Knights of Columbus, Father Michel J. McGivney. We extend our heartfelt congratulations to Supreme Knight Anderson and all members of the Knights of Columbus on this joyful news.
