Pope Leo XIV has appointed Knights of Columbus Supreme Knight Patrick Kelly as a member of the Dicastery for the Laity, the Family, and Life. The Vatican announced Kelly’s appointment on Aug. 25.

The dicastery was created by Pope Francis in 2016 to promote, as stated in its statutes, “the apostolate of the lay faithful, the pastoral care of the family and its mission according to God’s plan and for the safeguard and support of human life.” The dicastery is also the Vatican office responsible for organizing the international World Youth Day (WYD).

Today we celebrate the birth of Blessed Michael McGivney, who's simple “yes” to God became a blessing for generations.

As a parish priest, he saw the struggles facing Catholic families and responded with faith, courage, and practical charity. From that vision grew the Knights of Columbus: a brotherhood that continues to serve the Church and those in need around the world.

May we honor his birthday by asking for the grace to recognize the opportunities God places before us and respond with the same generosity.

Join the The Father Michael J. McGivney Guild, submit prayer intentions, and pray for the canonization of Blessed Michael McGivney at fathermcgivney.org

Blessed Michael McGivney, pray for us!
