CELEBRATE FOUNDERS’ DAY
he Order celebrates its 133rd birthday on
March 29. It was on this day that the State of
Connecticut recognized a group of Catholic
men, led by Father McGivney, as a new
organization dedicated to living the ideal of charity
and to helping people in need.
In honor of this day, encourage councils in your
district to celebrate our founding by sponsoring a
special Mass and conducting a First Degree
exemplification. Another way for councils to mark
our founding is to conduct a charitable service
project during the week in which March 29 falls in
honor of Father McGivney.
