“To meet him was at once to trust him; children actually loved him; and the very old people of the neighborhood, whom he hunted up and who got part of his time even on busiest days, called him a positive saint and meant it.” — Fr. Joseph Daley, a priest friend of Fr. McGivney's
Blessed Michael McGivney could be the first American-born priest to become a Saint.
He was born in Waterbury. He served in New Haven and Thomaston.
He loved baseball and the theater.
He gave his whole being to God as a Catholic priest.
He founded the Knights because he saw a need and he did something about it.
One Hartford priest changed the world and the Church forever.
What need do you see?
What will you do about it?
