 Vatican Declares Knights of Columbus founder "Venerable" Fr. Michael J. McGivney would be first American-born priest to be declared a saint
New Haven, CT - March 16, 2008 - Pope
Benedict XVI Saturday approved a decree recognizing the heroic virtue
of Father Michael J. McGivney, founder of the Knights of Columbus. The
pope's declaration significantly advances the priest's process toward
sainthood and gives the parish priest the distinction of "Venerable
Servant of God." If canonized, Fr. McGivney would be the first American
born priest to be so honored.
Knighthood is a ministry to serve God, by serving the needs of others!.

Vivat Jesus! The following couple of months we have been overwhelmed with one event after another and some were overlapping. Yet despite the monumental tasks, balancing that between your families and the Holy season, I offer my sincere and heartfelt THANKS. Without you and your families, those who benefit from our charity would not have been possible.
New Bishop - Rome has approved the election of our new Bishop-elect Earl Boyea who will replace our retiring Bishop Carl Mengling. The installation will take place at St. Thomas Aquinas in Lansing on April 28, 2008. Please visit the Diocese website by clicking the link on the right under Relgious Links.
Joseph Elekonich, Grand Knight
