Blessed Father McGivney statueThe Knights of Columbus recently installed a statue of Blessed Father McGivney in the St. Joseph Welcome Center at Trinity Heights. The statue of the KC's founder was purchased through proceeds from the Knights 2021 State Convention in Sioux City, according to KC District 7 Warden Denny Kluver.
Also from state convention proceeds, the local Knights recently contributed more than $6,800 to Trinity Heights toward construction of a new freestanding chapel on the grounds in Sioux City.
The four-foot tall resin statue sits on a pedestal, constructed by fellow Council 5660 Knight Larry Niehus. The craftsman recycled part of a wooden column, removed from Immaculate Conception Church during a remodeling project, to construct the pedestal.
The statue of the founder of Knights of Columbus is currently located near the entrance to the life-size Last Supper wood carving in the shrine's visitors center.
Kluver said the Sioux City Knights are seeking to add an info display about the Irish - American priest who in 1882 founded the now worldwide fraternal / charitable organization at a New Haven, Conn. parish. With a miracle attributed to Father McGivney, he was recently beatified and is one step closer to sainthood.
Funds to purchase the $2,400 statue are part of the proceeds from the sale of advertising in the 2021 Iowa KC State Convention program, Kluver said.
An additional $6,818 from KC Convention revenues was recently donated to Trinity Heights' current freestanding chapel construction project. Groundwork has been completed, and construction may begin this spring at the site between the visitors center and Queen of Peace statue.
Kluver praised chairman Kerry Bressler and the rest of the Advertising Committee for obtaining the revenue. Trinity Heights executive director Terry Hagerty thanked Knights for their generous gifts and all the volunteer work they do.
