Father Michael J. McGivney’s story as told in the “Parish Priest”by Douglas Brinkley and Julie M. Fenster. (Condensed with

contributions by the Editor) Part -28 in a series .Last in a Series Fr. McGivney succumbs to Illness and dies!

In 1889 Father Michael McGivney turned 37 years old and his strength began to wane. That peculiar malady, thatcertain strain of exhaustion that caught up to every priest in the nineteenth century, finally had the better of MichaelMcGivney. It left him vulnerable to any illness circulating among the people he served in Thomaston. That year he wasoften sick with a cold, but he kept to his duties at St. Thomas’s and the church in Terryville, even overseeing one hispopular church fairs in the last week in November. In December Father McGivney contracted Influenza. In January 1890it resulted in pneumonia. While McGivney was confined to his bed, the flu epidemic was spreading throughout thecountry. He eventually recovered from his bout with the flu but he was left with a weakness he could not overcome.Father McGivney had permanent damage to his system. In July of 1890 he was confined to bed. He was concerned forhis Parish Family and inquired daily about the Church. Father McGivney died on the Morning of August 14th 1890. It wastwo days after his 38th Birthday. At the time of his death the K of C had 6,000 members. Today the Knight of Columbus

number 1-million, eight hundred thousand strong. Fraternally D.D. Jim Albert

What sets the Knights of Columbus apart from other organizations?

Not only is it the largest Catholic fraternal service organization in the

world, we’re dedicated to providing charitable services, promoting

Catholic education and actively defending Catholicism. It is also

a mutual insurance company.

What is a mutual insurance company? The company is

owned by its policyholders rather than stockholders who own a stock

company.

Who are the policyholders? You and your family members

who purchase an insurance policy from the Knights to protect against

risks (such as death, disability, illness, future income). Company

profits are paid to policyholders in the form of “dividends”. Surplus

amounts are paid out to policyholders as a return of premium or dividend. Although not

guaranteed, the Knights of Columbus has issued dividends each and

every year since dividends began just prior to World War II.

For 130 years the K of C has provided for the financial security of its members and their families.

No insurance company in North America is more highly rated than the Knights of Columbus. It has

held an A++ rating by A.M. Best Co. for 36 consecutive years and is listed among the Fortune

1000.
