Feast Day of Blessed Father Michael McGivney

This is the day that the Catholic Church celebrates the feast day of Blessed Father Michael McGivney, the founder of the Knights of Columbus. The feast day is celebrated on August 13 because it falls between the day of Father McGivney's birth in 1852 and the day of his death in 1890. Blessed Michael Joseph McGivney was born on August 12, 1852 and died on August 14, 1890.
