Knights of Columbus Council 9579 This is the page for Knights of Columbus Council 9579 in Morganton NC. In 1882, Father Michael J. McGivney gathered a small group of parishioners in St.

Mary’s Church in New Haven, Conn. His purpose was to establish a group of men, united in their faith and to provide for Catholic families in times of need. This was the beginning of the Knights of Columbus. Guided by the principles of charity, unity, and fraternity members of the Knights of Columbus work to overcome the hardships that people face in their parishes and communities. We are a growing organization - nearly 2 million members - and for over 130 years have committed to overcome the challenges of the need for food, shelter, warm clothing and financial security, as well as provide aid for widows and orphans in our local communities. The Fr. William T McShea Council #9579 is proud to serve the parish of St. Charles Borromeo and the surrounding city of Morganton, NC.

Pope Leo XIV’s doctors have confirmed that the tumor removed on October 13 was a lung adenocarcinoma and that the disease was localized.

Dr. Luigi Carbone and Professor Stefano Margaritora said on Wednesday evening that a subsequent oncological assessment has confirmed that “no further treatment is necessary.”

The Holy See Press Office on Tuesday evening released a statement about Pope Leo’s surgery stating: “The intraoperative frozen-section examination confirmed the diagnosis of pulmonary adenocarcinoma [a type of non-small cell lung cancer], as suspected from the preoperative tests.”

The statement also said “the Holy Father was in the operating room for approximately three hours; the operation itself lasted approximately 90 minutes. The operation was successful, and there were no complications.”

“Following the operation, the pope awoke normally and, after a brief period of observation, returned to his room on the 10th floor.”

Today the Church will celebrate the beatification of Archbishop Fulton Sheen in St. Louis. A member of the Knights of Columbus, Archbishop Sheen spoke at numerous K of C events and collaborated with the Order in Catholic educational and evangelization efforts. At the 88th Supreme Convention in Houston in 1970, he challenged his brother Knights “to rebuild a morally united nation,” and five years later, in Miami Beach, Florida, he encouraged them to keep Jesus at the center of their efforts to advance the kingdom of God on earth.

As a priest, professor, bishop and media personality, Archbishop Fulton Sheen engaged the rapidly changing and often turbulent culture of his day with clarity and wit. Today, his message of faith — broadcast around the world — remains a timely and urgent witness of hope.
