Father
Michael J. McGivney
-------------------
William Geary, one of the Order's charter members, said that at the first council meeting in 1882, he was "acclaimed as founder by 24 men with hearts full of joy and thanksgiving, recognizing that without his optimism, his will to succeed, his counsel and advice they would have failed."
The Church of St. Mary's, New Haven, Connecticut, is the parish church of the second oldest Catholic parish in Connecticut, being established in 1832. The first church was built in 1834 and burnt down in 1848. The current church at 5 Hillhouse Avenue was dedicated in 1874. The Knights of Columbus was founded here in 1882 by then assistant pastor, Michael J. McGivney.
