Knights of Columbus Founder Father Michael McGivney is moving closer to sainthood.
The Vatican announced this in their bulletin today, following the Pope’s approval of promulgated decrees recognizing heroic virtues and miracles of different individuals, in a recent audience with Cardinal Angelo Becciu, Prefect of the Vatican’s Congregation for the Causes of Saints.
Venerable Fr. McGivney, a Connecticut priest launched an international lay movement, served his flock during the pandemic of 1890, before himself becoming ill and dying of pneumonia.
