Parish Priest : Father Michael McGivney and American Catholicism EPUB
by Douglas Brinkley, Julie M. Fenster
EPUB
Description
The first commercial, in-depth biography of the American-born Roman Catholic priest who may well be declared a saint. . . . “Delightful. . . . No magisterial biography emanating a suffocating aura of pomp and self-importance, this book is as low-key and as uplifting as Father Michael McGivney himself.”-Calgary Herald
“Father McGivney's vision remains as relevant as ever in the changed circumstances of today's Church and society.”-Pope John Paul II
In a time of discrimination and poverty for Catholics across America, Father Michael McGivney (1852-1890), began a legacy of hope that continues to this day. Called to action in 1882 by his sympathy for these suffering people, this dynamic yet tenderhearted man-the son of Irish immigrants- founded the Knights of Columbus, an organization that has saved countless families from destitution.
At heart, Father McGivney was the model of an American parish priest: Beloved by children, trusted by adults, and regarded as a “positive saint” by the elderly in his New Haven, CT, parish-a truly holy man whose life and works are still celebrated today.
