Special Events - Fr. Michael J McGivney - PGK Patrick Noonan

Dear Brothers, Family, and Friends,

All are welcome to join us on Wednesday, June 23rd at 7 PM in the church hall for a presentation, "Reflecting on the spiritual legacy of Blessed Father Michael J. McGivney, founder of the Knights of Columbus.”

Did you know that Blessed Father McGivney is one step away from becoming a saint by the Catholic Church? Come and gain a deeper understanding of Father McGivney's organization that embodies charity, service, fraternity, and fraternal communion. Learn about its 19th-century origins and how the organization still actively supports and advocates for the church community in 2021 all over the world and, closer to home, right here at Blessed Sacrament.

Fraternally Yours,

PGK Patrick Noonan
