About this Event
The Saints of October 2020: Blessed Olinto Marella, Blessed Carlo Acutis, and Blessed Michael McGivney
How did a misunderstood priest, a fifteen-year-old gamer and internet geek, and the Founder of the Knights of Columbus get to be Saints?
In this online presentation, Father John Horgan will present the lives of three very unusual saintly men recognized as “Blesseds” in the month of October by the Catholic Church. Who were they and what did they do? What was the witness to Christ that they have left behind? Can they speak to me in the midst of a global pandemic? What is their meaning for my life?
Father Horgan will also give some insight on the process of canonization, including explanations on how the Church recognizes new saints, how many kinds of saints there are, the marks of holiness, and the role of miracles. He will also discuss relics and incorrupt saints.
Father Horgan is a well-known authority on the Saints and their history; he has graduated from the Vatican’s “saint-making course” and even assisted the process of a nun who is now Blessed. Join in to learn about this fascinating part of Catholic life and have your questions answered.
