Thanx for the info. I went to the Vatican website & there it was in plain Italiano: " le virtù eroiche del Servo di Dio MICHELE McGIVNEY, Sacerdote Diocesano e Fondatore dell’Ordine Fraterno "The Knights of Columbus"; nato a Waterbury (Stati Uniti d’America) il 12 agosto 1852 e morto a Hartford (Stati Uniti d’America) il 14 agosto 1890;"

The only reason for so little coverage, including the KC website, that I can think of is that it is the weekend & very few people are paying attention.

Many of those on the list were, no surprize, Italiano. I did recognize 1 other name Gemma Gianinni.

I'm getting my third degree in May:)

I would suggest reading "Parish Priest: Father Michael McGivney"

It's a very well done biography.
