Prayer for the Canonization of Fr. McGivney

Venerable Michael J. McGivney

Fr. McGivney Favors Reported:

"Dear Father,
Three years ago, I submitted my resume to a small Catholic high school in Miami to be the U.S. History teacher. I really didn't give it much thought because the school was on the outer fringes of my ability to commute. I was counting on being picked up by one of the public schools in my area. Along came the budget cuts and I was not going to be picked up. As the summer and my family's money were coming to an end, I prayed to Father Michael (McGivney) to help me get a job. I had been praying to him most of the year because I am a Knight of Columbus. I was called by that small Catholic school in Miami, because the person they had hired backed out on them. The call came from out of the blue. I interviewed and was awarded the job over two other individuals. I thank Father McGivney for his intercession for me. I have been teaching at this small school ever since and am very happy. Thank you Father Michael McGivney."

"Dear Father,
I have been unemployed and job hunting for 10 months. I started praying the Prayer for the Canonization of Father McGivney two weeks ago, requesting the favor of getting a specific job. I just received the offer on the job I really wanted, and it was for a higher salary than I expected! I felt that Father McGivney's connection to working families would help the intercession on my behalf. My husband is a Knight of Columbus and I belong to the ladies auxiliary. I am so grateful!"

K.Z., Las Vegas, Nev.

"Dear Father,
My husband's recent cancer surgery was successful and his prognosis was very good after I prayed to Father McGivney."
