A CAUSE FOR SAINTHOOD

TRIBUNAL & ROME PHASE

The appointed archdiocesan Historical Commission compiled a 700page document on all aspects of Father McGivney’s life and times, and a Tribunal was convened in Hartford to take testimony and assess the evidence related to the cause. Father O’Donnell then set out to write the positio – an authoritative biography of Father McGivney and an exposition on his virtues of faith, hope and charity, with emphasis on his spiritual character and holiness of life. Running more than 1,000 pages, the document was delivered to the Vatican in the summer of 2000 and the cause officially began its Rome phase at the Congregation for the Causes of Saints.

A new postulator based in Rome, Dr. Andrea Ambrosi, was appointed.

Father O’Donnell currently serves as Vice-Postulator of the cause and Director of the Father McGivney Guild.

VENERABLE SERVANT OF GOD

After a period of meticulous study and assessment of Father McGivney’s life and virtues, the Congregation for the Causes of Saints announced on March 15, 2008, that Pope Benedict XVI had approved a decree of heroic virtue and Father McGivney was declared Venerable Servant of God.

The decree reads, in part:

Concerning the theological virtues of Faith, Hope, and Love both toward God and neighbor as well as the cardinal virtues of Prudence, Justice, Temperance, and Fortitude, and those others joined to them, they existed to a heroic degree in the Servant of God Michael McGivney, Diocesan Priest and Founder of the Fraternal Order the

God, our Father, protector of the poor and defender of the widow and orphan, you called your priest, Blessed Michael McGivney, to be an apostle of Christian family life and to lead the young to the generous service of their neighbor. Through the example of his life and virtue, may we follow your Son, Jesus Christ, more closely, fulfilling his commandment of charity and building up his Body which is the Church.

Let the inspiration of your servant prompt us to greater confidence in your love so that we may continue his work of caring for the needy and the outcast. We humbly ask that you glorify Blessed Michael McGivney on earth according to the design of your holy will. Through his intercession, grant the favor I now present (here make your request).

Through Christ our Lord. Amen

Knights of Columbus.

Two extraordinary healings were reported to the Congregation but neither was accepted as miraculous according to the Vatican’s high standards of proof.

Knowing that these setbacks were simply a sign of the Vatican’s high standards and the integrity of the sainthood process, the Father McGivney Guild continued to receive reports of extraordinary favors and finally came across one that would be judged miraculous. The healing of an unborn baby from a fatal condition proved to be the miracle opening the way for the beatification of Father McGivney (Father McGivney Guild, 2023).

HIS VISION, YOUR MISSION

You can play a key role in advancing Father McGivney’s cause by joining the Guild for free and praying for his intercession and canonization. May Father McGivney intercede for you!

The Father Michael J. McGivney Guild serves as a source for information about the life, works and spirituality of Father McGivney. The Guild publishes a quarterly newsletter and offers a weekly Mass for the intentions of members.

MONTHLY REFLECTION

The month of June falls within the liturgical season of Ordinary Time, which is represented by the liturgical color green. This symbol of hope is the color of the sprouting seed and arouses in the faithful the hope of reaping the eternal harvest of heaven, especially the hope of a glorious resurrection. It is used in the offices and Masses of Ordinary Time.

As we begin to feel the warmth of summer, we can reflect that we celebrate the feasts of Trinity Sunday (June 4), Corpus Christi (June 11), the Sacred Heart of Jesus (June 16) and the Immaculate Heart of Mary (June 17). God is Love and the Sacred Heart of Jesus present on earth in the Blessed Sacrament is the human manifestation of God's Love for men. Appropriately June is considered the month for weddings where human hearts join and cooperate with the Creator in bringing forth new life. The family they create is a human reflection of the Blessed Trinity.

The saints that we will focus on this month are:

St. Justin (June 1), Sts. Marcellinus and Peter (June 2), St. Charles Lwanga & Companions (June 3), St. Boniface (June 5), St. Norbert (June 6), St. Ephrem (June 9), St. Anthony of Padua (June 13), St. Romuald (June 19), St. Aloysius Gonzaga (June 21), Sts. John Fisher and Thomas More (June 22), St. Paulinus (June 22), the Nativity of St. John the Baptist (June 24), St. Josemaría Escrivá (June 26), St. Cyril of Alexandria (June 27), St. Irenaeus (June 28), the Solemnity of Sts. Peter and Paul (June 29) and the First Martyrs of the Church of Rome (June 30). The feast of St. Barnabas (June 11) is superseded by the Sunday liturgy.

A Time of Love

Following Pentecost, the Church begins her slow descent from the great peaks of the Easter Season to the verdant pastures of Ordinary Time, the longest of the liturgical seasons. She pauses briefly, to praise the Holy Trinity Creator, Redeemer, and Sanctifier; and then the Sacrament of the Body and Blood of Christ, Corpus Christi. Like the lush June growth all around us, the green of the liturgical season points to the new life won for us by the Redemption of Jesus Christ, the new life of Charity. For Our Lord came to cast the fire of His love on the earth, and to that end, sent His Holy Spirit at Pentecost in the form of tongues of fire. Therefore, the close of the Easter season marks not the cessation but rather the beginning of Ordinary Time is the commencement of the Church’s activity. Ordinary Time is the hour to “go out to all the world and tell the good news.” The feasts of June highlight this expansion of the Church. At least ten times, the Church vests in the red of the martyrs whose blood is the very seed of her growth. She also celebrates the feasts of the Apostles Peter and Paul, and the birth of St. John the Baptist, protodisciple and prophet.

We, too, are called to be witnesses like the apostles and martyrs. May the Heart of Jesus inflame our hearts so that we may be worthy of our Baptismal call to holiness. Immaculate Heart of Mary, pray for us.

STATE OFFICER REPORT

What an amazing month the Knights of Columbus had in May! Council elections, programs and activities, Measure Up, Mother’s Day Breakfasts, first communion masses, state convention, memorial day, Super Cash, and so on. I bet you are ready to sit back for the summer and enjoy a cold one?

Not the Knights of Columbus!! We are just heating up!

Thank you to all of the delegates and attendees that came out to the 124th Annual Ohio State Council State Convention in Columbus on May 1921, 2023. New venue, new experiences, and yes some new hiccups along the way.

Congratulations to all of the councils that won state awards for the Cleveland Diocese these include:

• Youth of the Year: Gavin Fronek (13984)

• Family of the Year: Matthew & Amy Wright (13984)

• Chaplain of the Year: Fr. John Mullee (3970)

• Knight of the Year: Teran Taggart (15901)

Gavin won State Youth of the Year as well. There were a total of 5Administrative, 9-Bronze, and 2-Gold Council Award Winners. Great job. I know that the Knights of Columbus are alive in the diocese and putting their faith into action. How are you eligible for state awards? Easy, report your program or activity.

Congratulations to your new state officers for the 2023-2024 Fraternal Year. They include:

• State Deputy-Elect: Jeff Kiliany (YOU)

• State Secretary-Elect: Mike Felerski (CIN)

• State Treasurer-Elect: Jim Maslach (CLE)

• State Advocate-Elect: Chris Sarka (COL)

• IPSD: Mark Siracusa (TOL)

The delegates at the 124th Annual Convention elected Anthony Offenberger from the Steubenville Diocese as the new State Warden. He will be stepping into a big set of shoes as Immediate Past State Deputy Robert Byers, after 24-years on state staff, is moving over to the Past State Deputies and joining his brothers. Thank you to Bob for all of the years of service and I am sure there is more to come. Good luck to Tony has he accepts the new position. There will be trials and tribulations, but Tony has a good set of officers in front of him that will help him adjust to his new duties.

Thank you to Mark and Beth Siracusa for the past two years as State Deputy. There were a lot of ups and downs but under his direction, the state continues to grow and shows why Ohio is a top-player in the Knights of Columbus.

Thank you to Chris Sarka, Columbus Convention Team, and the State Officers for putting on a great weekend for all to enjoy. We are looking forward to 2024 when we will be celebrating the 125th Annual State Convention in the Queen City.

I want to personally thank all of you for the support and prayers as I continue on this journey and for allowing me to be your representative on the state council. Without all of you, doing the great work that you do, it makes my job just a little easier. I look forward to working as your State

Treasurer just as hard as I did as Warden and Advocate. Kathy and I thank all of you!

I would like to thank all of the district deputies that work with you this past fraternal year. Their dedication and determination to make sure you were going on the right path or answering those questions late at night, is worthy of high praise. Most of the District Deputies are returning for the 20232024 fraternal year except Cris Drugan (DD #25). Cris was instrumental in getting the councils in his district to become active and reporting. Cris, thank you very much. Later on in this issue, the new DDs and their councils are listed as reference.

As we turn toward the next fraternal year, please take note that the State Tour Meeting for the Cleveland Diocese will take place on Saturday, July 15, 2023 at 1PM at St. Ambrose in Brunswick. A traditional KofC lunch will be served starting at 12 Noon. Please note that this is a change from the past. Usually, Cleveland is on Sunday afternoon. Our Worthy State Deputy-Elect is making a couple of changes. So, check out the state website under ACTIVITIES for more information.

I am so looking forward to all of the great things that you and your councils will be doing in this upcoming year. I continue to thank God daily for your prayers and support. Remember, your diocesan team is here for you. You need anything, please do not hesitate to contact us. Working together, we will be strong and courageous.

STATE GROWTH REPORT

Growth in the diocese has been trending in a very positive direction the last couple of months. Currently, we are almost 87% of our adjusted goal with 270 new brothers. We are remaining steady at 3.62% growth since July 1’s membership numbers. Ohio is just under 87% of adjusted goal with 1,483 new members. There is still 30 days left of the fraternal year. So, keep the pedal to the metal and bring in those new members.

As far as we know, the free dues promo will end on June 30, 2023 unless Supreme decides to continue the program. This is a perfect opportunity to as that brother sitting next to you at Mass or helping out with the planning of your church festival, to come and join the Knights of Columbus. Where else can you put your faith into action and have fun doing it at the same time!

As our Worthy State Membership Director reminds us, “If you don’t ask, they will not join.” Ask time so that you can all share in the experience of a life time.

The Wednesday Online Exemplifications will continue through June 30. Councils are encouraged to start their own Exemplification Teams. However, if you would like, our Diocesan Team is always available. Joe Vallowe (15901) would be glad to coordinate with you. Let us know!

ADMINISTRATIVE STUFF

June is here and hopefully, your councils are having your elections for officers for the 2023-2024 fraternal year. What better time to get the Form 185 and 365 done and sent to State and Supreme but when the election concludes? Try it, you might find it easier to do than you think especially if you are using Member Management. LOL

Please make sure that the Report for Council Officers (Form 185) is completed by July 1, 2023. The new administration can then select members to help run their service programs and submit the Form 365, also due on July 1. If your FS or GK are using Member Management, you can go into the system, assign the names to the NEXT FRATERNAL YEAR, and you are done. Do the forms early and they you will not have to worry about them later. Plus, it helps the state as we can update our contact database sooner.

The final form due for the fraternal year is the Columbian Award Application. A couple of councils have already taken me up on the automatic SP7. I will have their reports to them no later than the state convention. If your council reported programs via the Form 10784, then we can help assemble the report. Just let Jim Maslach know and we ill assemble that for you.

If you need any assistance with the forms, accessing the online information, or just a general thought, please feel free to contact your District Deputy. Their contact information is on the last page of this newsletter. Otherwise, feel free to contact Jim Maslach, George Metz, Mike Incorvati, or Jerry Nowesnick for help.

The work is not done till the paperwork is submitted. Remember, to be early is to be on time.

God Bless.

DECLINE TO SIGN

Patrick Kent, Council #847

Do you have to sign any document that a person asks you to sign? Would you sign a petition that asks for a wall to be built between Ohio and Michigan? Maybe so, probably not, so why sign a petition to put a constitutional amendment on the ballot when you disagree with the content of the amendment.

What does the proposed constitutional amendment permit? Here’s another example: If a 14-year-old boy decides he wants into the “girls” locker room, his plan would be legal under the proposed constitutional amendment. Without telling his parents, he goes to a sex-change clinic and tells them he wants to be a girl. They prescribe drugs and give him instructions. He can tell the school nurse that he is transitioning to a female and wants to use the girl’s facilities. No one can question him about this and his parents cannot be notified about the situation. He can come to school, dress in a female manner, use the female facilities, change clothes, and then go home as a normal male. Unfortunately, this is not fiction, but can become a reality under the proposed constitutional amendment. Already, we are reading news reports of young men exposing themselves to the girls in the “girls” locker room.

If you dislike this potential scenario, politely decline to sign.
