Worthy Brother Knights and Ladies.
Our Grand Knight Tom Krivchenia urgently needs our prayers. Just as Tom and Lady Margaret were starting their vacation on Sanibel Island , Tom suffered a massive heart attack. Brother Tom collapsed, was unconscious, and had to be revived twice. He was rushed
to Sanibel Medical Center and had emergency open heart surgery. Tom is still unconscious in recovery. Please pray for our dear Brother and Worthy Grand Knight Tom.
Venerable Fr. Michael J. McGivney, you were truly an apostle of Christian family life, leading all to the generous service of their neighbor. You founded the Knights of Columbus to strengthen the faith and protect Catholic
men and their families. You were an apostle of lay spirituality, caring for the needy and the outcast, while you yourself endured a life-long battle with poor health.
We humbly beseech you now to intercede for our dear brother, Tom Krivchenia, in his recovery from the heart attack and surgery. You trusted and empowered lay people in leadership positions in a universal call to holiness, and Tom has been one of those
loyal stewards and now needs your help. Please help Tom, his loving wife Margaret, and the Krivchenia family by asking God to to heal Tom's heart and completely restore Tom to fullness of health.
God, our Father, through the intercession of Fr. Michael J. McGivney, grant the favor we now present. Through Christ our Lord. Amen
