Father McGivney’s Vision “The objective of this association is to promote the principles of unity and charity, so that the members may gain strength to bestow charity on each other.” “Men from different parishes were united in a catholic society designed to help them in the Christian obligation and the modern heroism of caring for a family; spiritually and financially.”
