As a proud member of the Knights of Columbus, council 12529 in Abita Springs, La, I am excited about the recent news concerning the ongoing cause for sainthood for our founder, Fr. Michael J. McGivney. After long years and careful examination, a reported miracle is being formally presented to Rome. Please add to your already full prayer list that if it be God's will, Fr. McGivney may be elevated to the altar of the Saints! Here is the news release:

Officials of a supplemental Tribunal constituted by the Archdiocese of Hartford have formally sent a new report to the Vatican’s Congregation for the Causes of Saints.
The tribunal – a panel tasked with gathering additional testimony – interviewed additional witnesses, including several medical doctors, about the circumstances of a reported miracle attributed to Venerable Michael McGivney’s intercession.
The report was signed and presented to Archbishop Henry Mansell on Sept. 22, 2009, and was affixed with the seal of the Archbishop of Hartford.
The postulator of the cause, Dr. Andrea Ambrosi, traveled from Rome to Hartford for the occasion.
The event was held in the chapel at the chancery of the archdiocese and was attended by Supreme Knight Carl Anderson, other Supreme Officers, relatives of Father McGivney and archdiocesan officials.
