Father Michael McGivney and the Knights of Columbus

• First children’s chapter book on Blessed Michael McGivney
• Thoroughly researched with input from McGivney experts
• Highlights the priest’s humble beginnings and holy mission
• Encourages youth with a relatable model of modern holiness
• A meaningful gift for young Catholics learning about saints and vocations

Part of the New Vision Books series, this is the first children’s chapter book to explore the life of Blessed Michael McGivney, founder of the Knights of Columbus and a model of modern Catholic holiness. 

Written by Emily Tennant, the book is the fruit of extensive research—both scholarly and personal—making it an authentic and approachable account for young readers.

Tennant worked closely with leading experts on McGivney’s life, including Vice-Postulator Brian Caulfield, religious and clerical collaborators, and even a family relative. She also visited the places where McGivney lived and served, bringing added depth and detail to the story.

Children will follow young Michael, the son of Irish immigrants, through his formative years in Connecticut, his call to the priesthood, and his tireless work to support struggling families in his parish. 

His love for the Church and commitment to service led to the founding of the Knights of Columbus—today the world’s largest Catholic fraternal organization.

Through this engaging narrative, readers will come to understand that holiness is not beyond reach. 

Like McGivney, ordinary faithfulness can have extraordinary impact. This inspiring book helps children see the priesthood, Catholic community, and the call to virtue in a fresh and accessible way.
