The Council is named after Father Michael C. Kidd who passed away Sunday morning, December 30, 2007, just before 7:00 AM. Monday, December 31 would have been his birthday. He was pastor of Holy Family Church in Mitchellville, MD for a quarter of a century. Father Mike was a member of the Knights of Columbus for over 51 years.

O great and glorious God, You imbued Your holy priest. Father Michael J. McGivney, with deep priestly virtue and especially with pastoral concern for the poor, the orphan, the widow, for the Christian education of youth, for the protection of the faith of the working man of his day.
Now that his priestly ministry continues to spread to countless millions throughout the world, through the efforts and influence of the Order of the Knights of Columbus, which Father McGivney founded, we beseech Your, Heavenly Father, to raise Your faithful servant, Michael, to the honors of the altar. We ask this favor through our Lord Jesus Christ and His Holy Mother, Mary and our Mother, Amen.
