IN LOVING MEMORY
FATHER MICHAEL J. McGIVNEY
August 12, 1852 - August 14, 1890
Founder of the Knights of Columbus Ogreat and glorious God, You imbued Your
holy priest, Father Michael J. McGivney, with deep priestly virtue and
especially with pastoral concern for the poor, the orphan, the widow, for the
Christian education of youth, for the protection of the faith of the working
man of his day.
Now that his priestly ministry continues to spread to countless millions
throughout the world, through the efforts and influence of the Order of the
Knights of Columbus, which Father McGivney founded, we beseech You, Heavenly
Father, to raise Your faithful servant, Michael, to the honors of the altar. We
ask this favor through our Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Mother, Mary and our
Mother, Amen.
Composed by the Most
Rev. Charles P. Greco,
Former Supreme Chaplain of the Knights of Columbus
