As we prepare to celebrate the Feast Day of our Founder, Blessed Michael McGivney, I invite every Brother Knight and your family to participate in the Founder’s Novena with faith and devotion.
This novena is a special opportunity to unite in prayer, asking God to grant the canonization of Blessed Michael McGivney so that he may soon be recognized by the Universal Church as Saint Michael McGivney. His life of charity, unity, fraternity, and service continues to inspire Knights throughout the world, and through his example we are called to live our Catholic faith with greater commitment.
During this novena, let us also seek Blessed Michael McGivney’s powerful intercession for all our Brother Knights, especially those who are sick, suffering, facing personal or family challenges, or have gone before us in faith. May his prayers strengthen our Council, our families, our clergy, and our parish community.
I encourage every member to pray the novena each day, either individually or together with your family. United in prayer, we demonstrate our faith and our commitment to the mission of the Knights of Columbus.
Let us ask Blessed Michael McGivney to intercede for:
The canonization of our Founder.
The spiritual well-being of all Brother Knights and their families.
Those who are ill or in need of God's healing and comfort.
An increase in vocations, stronger Catholic families, and continued growth of our Order.
Thank you for your continued dedication and faithful witness. May Blessed Michael McGivney guide and protect each of us as we strive to serve Christ, His Church, and those in need.
Fraternally,
Joseph Remedios
Faith Director
