Knights of Columbus Founder to Be Beatified on Saturday

 On Saturday, 31 October, Venerable Father Michael J. McGivney, a Connecticut priest who served his flock during the pandemic of 1890, before himself becoming ill and dying of pneumonia will be beatified (declared Blessed) by the Catholic Church. Father McGivney is the founder of the Knights of Columbus.
