Then I heard these words in my soul: Your purpose and that of your companions is to unite yourselves with Me as closely as possible; through love You will reconcile earth with heaven, you will soften the just anger of God, and you will plead for mercy for the world. (Diary 531)

"We need in our times now more than ever – Our Lady, along with the Divine Mercy message, we’ve got the 1-2 punch in the spiritual life right now, seriously, for the new evangelization to CHANGE THE WORLD! God desires this and that is why we live in the era of Divine Mercy. We live in the era of more Marian apparitions than in any other time in the church. This is a fact. God and Heaven are telling us something. Avail yourselves to all these graces!"

Mercy on the Move in Wheeling, WV
Blessing of the Father's Day Icon
St. Joseph and Knights of Columbus Founder, Fr. Michael McGivney interceded as we witnessed the blessing of our Father’s Day Icon by Pittsburgh, PA artist, James Sulkowski. The blessing was imparted by Bishop Mark Brennan, Diocese of Wheeling/Charleston at the Cathedral of St. Joseph, Wheeling, WV on the evening of September 19, 2020.
Members of the Knights of Columbus belonging to the Wheeling, WV District, were present with the following Councils represented:Corpus Christi Council 12830,
Carroll Council 504,
Our Lady of Peace Council 12195,
and Moundsville Council 1907.
It is through their grassroots efforts that our pro-life Father’s Day Icon Project was launched as a means to pray for the healing from abortion, especially caused by lost Fatherhood.The Father’s Day Icon with St. Joseph added to the original painting by the artist, was completed in the spring of 2020, after consecrating our work to St. Joseph. Remarkably, it coincided with the announcement of the miraculous healing of a baby in the womb, attributed to the intercession of Fr. McGivney, the founder of the Knights of Columbus, leading to Fr. McGivney’s upcoming beatification scheduled to take place on October 31, 2020. The painting portrays St. Joseph looking with great kindness with the genuine heart of a father as intercessor for lost Fatherhood and restoration of the fathers with their aborted children.
The Knights of Columbus from the Councils in Wheeling, WV and beyond will keep the Father’s Day Icon traveling, to pray for the restoration of the wounds of lost Fatherhood.
In collaboration with us, and in recognition of the miraculous healing in utero, attributed through Fr. McGivney’s intercession involving Dixon, TN brother Knight, Dan Schachle’s son, “Mikey”, the Bethel Park, PA South Hills Council #3084 represented by Mark Cotter on behalf of this generous Pittsburgh Council, gifted Dan Schachle his own Father’s Day Icon, which he hopes to use to join in the grassroots efforts to pray for lost Fatherhood through the intercession of St. Joseph and Fr. McGivney with his family and his brother Knights.
Our Father’s Day Icon is now available at FJDM Shop.
Please continue your prayers for our work and especially this new pro-life initiative!
St. Joseph pray for us!
Fr. McGivney, pray for us!
