Prayer for the Canonization of Father Michael J. McGivney
God, our Father, protector of the poor and defender of the
widow and orphan,you called your priest, Father Michael J.
McGivney, to be an apostle ofChristian 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 your servant Father Michael J. McGivney on
earth according to the design of your holy will. Through his intercession,
grant the favor I now present to restore the sight of our Brother Justin
Benson. Through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our Father - Hail Mary - Glory be to the Father

NEWS FOR KNIGHTS
Petition in support of marriage petition in support of Marriage
ALERT - SIGN MARRIAGE PROTECTION E-PETITION TODAY!
LET THE PEOPLE VOTE ON THE DEFINITION OF MARRIAGE!
ACTION NEEDED NOW: CLICK ON LINK BELOW TO ELECTRONICALLY SIGN E- PETITION
& AUTOMATICALLY CONTACT YOUR STATE REPRESENTATIVES & LEGISLATIVE
LEADERS WITH ONE CLICK!!
We now have a NEW Marriage Protection E-Petition that you can easily distribute widely via
e-mail! Please sign TODAY and circulate this to all your family, friends, and other groups who can
send it out to their networks. With your help - we will be able to gather many MORE citizen
signatures to petition our State Legislators to preserve marriage once and for all by sending a state
constitutional amendment to the general election ballot to let the people vote. (Click below to SIGN
the E-PETITION and read the Amendment Petition as well as the background information why a
state constitutional amendment is the only true form of protection for marriage.)
Same-sex "marriage" proponents are not satisfied with all the same state "marital" benefits that
they received by the passage of civil union legislation. Their true goal is to redefine marriage for all
of us and to force everyone's acceptance of SAME-SEX "MARRIAGE.". THEREFORE, we MUST
gather hundreds of thousands of e-signatures in order to move our State Representatives to place a
state constitutional amendment on the ballot (see Background Info by clicking the link below) to
"Let the People Vote" on this critically important, foundational issue that will affect all our
families, especially if marriage is radically redefined.
We will continue to keep you informed and alert you when to contact your legislators again to
remind them you signed this petition and want to see action. We will need to do this on a regular
basis to be effective (Perhaps monthly). SO, BE PERSISTENT WITH US, and by God's grace we
will see victory in NJ. It's true we have a steep hill to climb, BUT the first step to do is TO SIGN
THE E-PETITION and then CIRCULATE IT WIDELY!!
CLICK HERE TO SIGN E-PETITION
FORWARD THIS E-MAIL TO FAMILY AND FRIENDS!
PLEASE NOTE: PREVIOUS USERS WILL STILL HAVE TO RETYPE THEIR CONTACT
INFORMATION IN ORDER TO ACTIVATE THE MULTIPLE COMMUNICATION MESSAGES
TO YOUR ELECTED OFFICIALS.
THANK YOU!

Knights of Columbus Insurance
NEWS RELEASE
For immediate release:
August 1, 2009
Knights of Columbus Insurance Receives Highest Ratings
(NEW HAVEN, CT) — Two top rating firms have reaffirmed giving their highest ratings for
the Knights of Columbus insurance program. Both A.M. Best and Standard & Poor’s concluded
this week that the 127-year-old Catholic fraternal order’s financial strength and stability
remains strong despite a slumping economy.
This marks the 34th consecutive year in which the Knights of Columbus has earned A.M. Best’
s A++ (Superior) rating, and the 17th successive year the Order has earned the AAA
(Extremely Strong) rating from S&P.
Supreme Knight Carl A. Anderson declared that renewal of the Order’s top ratings is
especially significant in the current economic environment. “Our history of careful
management and our conservative investment practices made all the difference when last year’
s severe downturn punished virtually every financial services company. The wisdom of that
approach is now affirmed by the decision by A.M Best and Standard & Poor’s to reaffirm their
highest ratings for us. Our mission, to provide financial security for our members and their
families with top-quality insurance products, remains our number one priority.”
Over the past decade, the amount of Knights of Columbus insurance in force has more than
doubled, to $71 billion. The Knights of Columbus is also certified by the Insurance
Marketplace Standards Association (IMSA) for ethical and honest business practices. It is one
of only four U.S. insurers with both IMSA certification and top ratings from S&P and A.M.
Best, and the only insurance company in Canada to do so. Additionally, the Knights of
Columbus has donated more than $1.325 billion to charity, and provided nearly 626 million
hours of volunteer service in support of charitable initiatives worldwide.
