What are the Knights of Columbus?
The Knights of Columbus is the world’s largest Catholic family fraternal service organization with over 1.8 million members. Founded in 1882 by Michael J. McGivney, its members are dedicated to charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism. Together, Knights grow deeper in their Faith, engage in charitable works, promote Catholic values, and support their families, local parish and community.

Prayer for the Canonization of Father Michael J. McGivney
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.
