The founder of the Knights of Columbus may be inching closer to sainthood<\/a>: <\/p>\n

<\/a>The cause for sainthood of Father Michael McGivney, founder of the Knights of Columbus, took another step forward this week, with the submission of a supplemental report on a potential miracle attributed to the priest\u2019s intercession.<\/p>\n

The Knights of Columbus announced today that officials from a supplemental tribunal of the Archdiocese of Hartford \u2013of which Fr. McGivney was a parish priest- formally sent a new report to the Vatican\u2019s Congregation for the Causes of Saints. The information gathered by the tribunal included testimonies from witnesses to the supposed miracle as well as the statements of several medical doctors about the circumstances surrounding the reported miracle.<\/p>\n

The small ceremony in which the new report was signed and presented to Archbishop Henry Mansell was attended by Supreme Knight Carl Anderson, other Supreme Officers, three relatives of Father McGivney and a number of archdiocesan officials.<\/p>\n

The submission of the new report \u201cmarks an important step forward. The Vatican\u2019s Congregation for the Causes of Saints will now have valuable additional testimony that clarifies and adds significantly to the original submission,\u201d Supreme Knight Carl Anderson said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n
