"The Journey to Sainthood: Father McGivney's Path to Canonization" At Knights of Columbus: Sancta Familia Council 11498, we are proud to be part of an organization that was founded by a truly remarkable individual - Father Michael J. McGivney. Father McGivney's journey from a humble parish priest to a potential saint is a story that inspires us all. Father McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus in 1882, along with a group of dedicated parishioners. Their mission was simple yet powerful - to provide support and assistance to those in need, particularly the sick, disabled, and needy members and their families. This mission continues to guide our organization to this day. Father McGivney's vision was rooted in his deep faith, charity, and patriotism. He believed that by coming together as Catholic men, we could make a difference in our communities and in the lives of those who needed it most. This unique selling point of being Catholic Men has been the foundation of our organization's success and impact. The impact of the Knights of Columbus has been felt globally. We have been able to bring financial aid and assistance to countless individuals and families, providing them with the support they need during difficult times. Our charitable activities and community service initiatives have made a tangible difference in the lives of many. In recognition of Father McGivney's extraordinary life and the impact of the Knights of Columbus, there is now a movement to canonize him as a saint. The process of canonization is a long and rigorous one, but it is a testament to the profound impact that Father McGivney had on the world. To honor Father McGivney and support his potential path to sainthood, we have undertaken various events and initiatives. These include special Masses, prayer vigils, and fundraising campaigns. We believe that by spreading awareness of Father McGivney's story and the work of the Knights of Columbus, we can attract more members and donations to further our mission.
