FR. MCGIVNEY GUILD

NORTH COAST NAVIGATOR

NOVEMBER 2022

A SAINT IN THE MAKING On May 26, 2020, Pope Francis approved a decree recognizing a miracle attributed to the intercession of Father McGivney and opening the way for his beatification. On Oct. 31, the Mass for Beatification was celebrated in the Cathedral of Saint Joseph in Hartford, Conn. An Apostolic Letter was read from Pope Francis that declared Father McGivney would now have the title of Blessed Michael McGivney. He is the third priest born in the United States to be raised to this honor, and the first priest to be beatified who spent his whole priestly ministry in a US parish.

On March 15, 2008, his heroic virtue was recognized by Pope Benedict XVI, and Father McGivney was given the title Venerable Servant of God. This important step occurred after years of

Having been raised to the honors of the altar, Blessed Michael McGivney has an annual feast day of Aug. 13, the day between his birthday (in 1852) and the day he passed into eternal life (in 1890).

His cause has now entered the final phase toward canonization or sainthood. One more confirmed miracle attributed to the intercession of Blessed Michael McGivney is needed for him to be declared saint.

The pope’s Apostolic Letter stated that Blessed Michael McGivney’s “zeal for the proclamation of the Gospel and generous concern for the needs of his brothers and sisters made him an outstanding witness of Christian solidarity and fraternal assistance.”

The Cause for Canonization for Father McGivney was opened in the Archdiocese of Hartford in 1997, when he was given the title Servant of God.

careful investigation of Father McGivney’s life, spirituality and holiness by the Congregation for the

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

Causes of Saints. The declaration of Venerable confirmed what those who knew him in life, and others who call upon him since his death, have believed about Father McGivney: He lived a life of heroic virtue with an extraordinary love of God and neighbor.

All Knights and their families, as well as all those devoted to Father McGivney, are asked to pray for his intercession in their daily needs, especially in cases of serious illness, and to report any favors and healings to the Guild.

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.

Hurricane Ian caused at least 137 fatalities and billions of dollars in damages when it crossed Cuba and the southeast United States in late September, making it the deadliest hurricane to strike the state of Florida since 1935. Ian followed close on the heels of Hurricane Fiona, which inflicted enormous damage in Puerto Rico and the Dominican Republic and along the eastern coast of Canada. In the aftermath of these natural disasters, Knights of Columbus organized efforts to help with cleanup and distribution of essential supplies.

Archbishop William Lori met with Knights of Columbus, Church leaders and displaced families in Poland and Ukraine Oct. 1-4. During the visit, he helped distribute aid to refugees from the war in Ukraine and witnessed ongoing humanitarian efforts aided by the Order’s Ukraine Solidarity Fund — including initiatives of the Greek- and Latinrite Churches in Ukraine and an orphanage run by the Archdiocese of Częstochowa, Poland.

In the 1990s, the Archdiocese of Edmonton designated Sacred Heart Church of the First Peoples as a national parish for First Nation, Inuit and Métis Catholics in Canada.

Parishioners at Sacred Heart were heartbroken when an accidental fire broke out in the church in August 2020, resulting in $9 million in repairs and renovation work. Wally Streit, past state deputy of Alberta, stepped up and led local Knights of Columbus and others in efforts to raise the money needed to restore the church. On July 25, 2022, Pope Francis visited the newly restored Sacred Heart Church during his pilgrimage to Canada.

MOTHER TERESA: NO GREATER LOVE Back by Popular Demand!

Twenty-five years have passed since the death of Mother Teresa of Calcutta, sparking a renewed interest in this spiritual giant of the 20th century. Filmed on 5 continents and featuring unprecedented access to both institutional archives and the apostolates of the Missionaries of Charity, this film reveals not just who Mother Teresa was, but how her singular vision to serve Christ in the poor continues to be realized through the Missionaries of Charity today. This is far more than a documentary. It is at once a soaring tribute to a spiritual icon, a powerful witness of authentic Christian charity, and a guidepost for all who seek hope in our turbulent times.

Visit the official website for more information (click HERE).

As announced at the Supreme Convention, the Knights of Columbus produced a feature-length film about the life and legacy of Mother Teresa. Over 900 theaters across the nation will show Mother Teresa: No Greater Love on October 3 and 4. Made to commemorate the 25th anniversary of Mother Teresa’s passing, this documentary is a breathtaking account of this globally renowned and heroic humanitarian, as well as the work of her religious community.

We urge every Knight to attend a showing in their community and encourage fraternal leaders to organize a council or parish-wide outing by purchasing group tickets (25 minimum), or even buying out the theater for your group.

Several promotional resources are available on Supreme email. Download and use these assets to help promote the movie to your council members and in your parish and community.

Mother Teresa inspired countless people of all ages around the world. This is a great opportunity for Knights, their families and friends to learn more about this modern day Saint and be inspired to put their faith into action.

EUCHARISTIC REVIVAL “What the world needs is God’s love; it needs to encounter Christ and to believe in him. The Eucharist is thus the source and summit not only of the Church's life, but also of her mission.”- Sacramentum Caritatis, #84 Over the next three years, every Catholic diocese, parish, school, apostolate, and family is invited to be a part of renewing the Church by enkindling a living relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ in the Holy Eucharist.

•

•

•

Year of Diocesan Revival (June 19, 2022 – July 11, 2023). This first year of the Revival invites diocesan staff, bishops, and priests to respond to the Lord’s personal invitation and equips them to share this love with the faithful through Eucharistic congresses and events.

Year of Parish Revival (June 11, 2023 - July 17, 2024). The second phase will foster Eucharistic devotion at the parish level, strengthening our liturgical life through faithful celebration of the Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, missions, resources, preaching, and organic movements of the Holy Spirit.

National Eucharistic Congress (July 17 - 21, 2024). At this historic event, more than 80,000 Catholics of all ages will gather in Indianapolis to reconsecrate their hearts to the source and summit of our faith.

The general vision of the Eucharistic Revival is to: • Foster encounters with Jesus through kerygmatic proclamation and experiences of Eucharistic devotion.

• Contemplate and proclaim the doctrine of the Real Presence of Jesus in the Eucharist through the Truth of our teaching, Beauty of our worship, and Goodness of a life of service.

• Empower grassroots creativity by partnering with movements, apostolates, parishes, and educational institutions.

• Reach the smallest unit: parish small groups and families.

• Embrace and learn from the various rich intercultural Eucharistic traditions.

• Train, send, and accompany more than 100,000 Eucharistic missionaries.

The Diocese of Cleveland the Knights of Columbus are working together to bring the Eucharistic Revival to our local parishes and diocese. Over the next couple of months, the plans for the 2023 Summer will be developed and announced. It is the hope and plans of the Diocese and the Knights to be able to share in this experience. Greg Coogan, brother Knight from St. Hilary Council #14551, and Jim Maslach, State Advocate, will be communicating anything that is going on with this revival.

We need your help to promote the Eucharistic Revival. If your parish and/or council is participating in any activities, please let us know so that we can support you and provide exposure to others in the area.

Contact Jim Maslach with any information.

You can also visit the Diocese of Cleveland’s web page dedicated to the revival by visiting https://www.dioceseofcleveland.org/eucharisticrevival/overview. Resources for your councils can be found on the state website (www.kofcohio.org) under ACTIVITES.
