FR. MCGIVNEY GUILD

NORTH COAST NAVIGATOR

OCTOBER 2022

HIS LEGACY For more than a century, Father McGivney’s legacy has been lived out in the hearts, minds and helping hands of his Knights of Columbus. Where there is a need, there is a Knight.

Numbers do not tell the whole story of Father McGivney’s ongoing inspiration of the Order he founded, but they do provide an important perspective.

Today, there are more than 2 million members of the Knights of Columbus in more than 16,000 local councils located in more than a dozen countries around the world. In 2019, these Knights together donated $187 million to charity and provided 77 million hours of volunteer work. Over the past decade, the Order has donated more than $1.6 billion to worthy causes.

In addition, the insurance program that Father McGivney began in 1882 to support families when a member died has grown from the simple seeds he

sowed. Today, the Knights of Columbus is a modern Fortune 1000 company that has more than $100 billion in financial protection in force for Knights and their families. Death benefits to survivors and regular dividends to policyholders translate each year to thousands of

The heart and soul of the Order are found in the local councils, where ordinary men work together to perform extraordinary deeds for church and community, according to the Faith in Action model.

With an Order based on charity, unity and fraternity, Father McGivney unleashed mortgages kept, college tuitions paid, the grace of good works for generations, retirements secured, and futures assured and today’s Knights carry on his legacy — and every dollar of assets is invested of building a better world for all. according to Catholic moral principles.

(Father McGivney Guild, 2022) The legacy of Father McGivney is also found in the countless smiles of children

God, our Father, protector of the poor and defender of the widow and orphan, you called your priest, Blessed Michael McGivney, to be an apostle of Christian family life and to lead the young to the generous service of their neighbor.

Through the example of his life and virtue, may we follow your Son, Jesus Christ, more closely, fulfilling his commandment of charity and building up his Body which is the Church.

Let the inspiration of your servant prompt us to greater confidence in your love so that we may continue his work of caring for the needy and the outcast. We humbly ask that you glorify Blessed Michael McGivney on earth according to the design of your holy will. Through his intercession, grant the favor I now present (here make your request).

Through Christ our Lord. Amen

receiving winter coats; bags of food delivered to families in need; extra gifts beneath Christmas trees; homes built by sweat equity with Habitat for Humanity; unborn lives saved through the Ultrasound Initiative; and millions of prayers offered every day by Knights and their families for peace, healing and reconciliation.

HIS VISION, YOUR MISSION You can play a key role in advancing Father McGivney’s cause by joining the Guild for free and praying for his intercession and canonization. May Father McGivney intercede for you! The Father Michael J. McGivney Guild serves as a source for information about the life, works and spirituality of Father McGivney.

The Guild publishes a quarterly newsletter and offers a weekly Mass for the intentions of members.

KNIGHTS IN ACTION Big Trucks Day in Avon Lake Brother Rudy Breglia of Council #3269 wants to alert Catholic schools to a school bus safety concern that can be fixed with lap-shoulder seat belts, the same belts that are now found in every car.

Thought you might want to see a recent activity on the seat belts in school buses Issue. Big Trucks Day in Avon Lake: A "Seat Belt in School Buses" information table was at the Big Trucks Day Event on 9/17, 10AM-2PM with fashion model I hired to draw a crowd. Was stationed in a good spot across from the fire trucks/emergency response vehicles with lots of foot traffic between the food trucks and the indoor vendors in the Fire House. Gave out literature and spoke to lots of parents (mostly "short elevator talk") and local officials (Uncle Sam = KC Zuber Council Member) & candidates. Encouraged all to speak with their school districts about the risk their children face without seat belts. Kids sat in the seat assembly & buckled up for pictures. Need more more suckers & coloring books next year & maybe crayons. US Maps with states requiring seat belts school bus (18% of US states) made a big hit.

Handed out a published Knights of Columbus article that summarizes the issue as well as a list of conclusions supporting the life-saving and injury-preventing benefits of seat belts. Primary conclusion was that current Ohio school bus safety features are inadequate to protect children fully! Hope all is well. Seat Belts Save Lives. Rudy Breglia
