Hail Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with Thee.
Today, we celebrate the Most Holy Name of Mary. The celebration was removed in 1970 from the universal calendar, but JPII restored it as an “optional memorial” in 2003.
Holy Mary, Mother of God, pray for us!

Today the Church celebrates the feast of Blessed Michael J. McGivney, founder of the Knights of Columbus.

His legacy is found not only in the Knights of Columbus but in the countless lives strengthened through faith, charity, and fraternity. His example reminds us that everyday holiness can have an extraordinary impact when it is rooted in love for Christ and service to others.

Whether you’re a Knight, a family member, or simply inspired by his witness, today is an opportunity to thank God for the life of Blessed Michael McGivney and ask for his intercession.

Blessed Michael McGivney, pray for us!

In a special video message to the 144th Supreme Convention, Pope Leo XIV calls on Knights to actively cultivate unity, practice charity and become “prophets of harmony” in their families, parishes and communities. He also expresses his gratitude for the Order’s enduring service to those in need and imparts his Apostolic Blessing upon all Knights and their families.
