Knights of Columbus dedicates statue
The Saint Vincent Pallotti Council of the Knights of Columbus, of Saint Leo the Great Church in Little Italy, donated a statue of the founder of the Order, Father Michael J. McGivney, during Mass and ceremony March 26. Pictured left blessing the statue is Father Bernie Carman, pastor of Saint Leo's.
