A special mass for an internationally renowned member of the Cavan Diaspora, Blessed Michael McGivney, will be held in Cavan Cathedral on his Feast Day tomorrow.
The road to sainthood for Blessed Michael McGivney, founder of the Knights of Columbus, moved a step closer in 2020 when he was beatified at the Cathedral of St. Joseph in Hartford, Connecticut. Both of Blessed Michael's parents were both from Co. Cavan and for the people of Cavan this was a proud moment.
His father, Patrick McGivney came from Kilnaleck and in 1847 he emigrated to Connecticut in the United States. The Mass for Blessed Michael McGivney's Feast Day will take place at the Cathedral of Saints Patrick and Felim, Cavan Town on Wednesday, 13th August at 10am.
Cathaoirleach of Cavan County Council Cllr John Paul Feeley said the mass in Cavan will acknowledge the achievements of one of the Cavan Diaspora's most influential members.
