Prior to the opening of our temporary exhibit “Away in a Manger: The Creation of Nativity Scenes,” Navidad Nativities, Inc. visited the Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center to install and unveil one of the newest additions to our crèche collection! Placing Christ’s birth in familiar surroundings, the Nativity scene was designed using elements from St. Mary’s Church in New Haven, Connecticut, where Blessed Michael McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus in 1882. It also includes historic and representative figures of the 19th century.
Explore this Nativity scene up close during a visit to Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center. The McGivney Pilgrimage Center is open Wednesday through Sunday from 10am to 4pm with free parking and admission.
Want to learn more about the development of this Nativity scene? Join us for Christmastime Family Day on Friday, December 27, when a representative from Navidad Nativities will discuss the design of this crèche, created exclusively for the Blessed Michael McGivney Pilgrimage Center.

National Eucharistic Pilgrimage: Archbishop Coyne's Homily at the Pentecost Vigil Mass, St. Mary's Church, New Haven
“Let us pray each day, especially on your pilgrimage, that the Holy Spirit may free you to find where God's will is taking you. A true pilgrimage requires letting go of the very things we most try to hold on to. In seeking after what God desires of us, we become pilgrims with no path but the one that he would have us follow. May your journey be a safe and fruitful pilgrimage as you accompany the Blessed Sacrament and manifest the words from the breastplate of Saint Patrick: ‘Christ be with me, Christ within me, Christ behind me, Christ before me, Christ beside me, Christ to win me, in the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.’ “
Hear Archbishop Christopher Coyne’s homily for the Pentecost Vigil Mass at St. Mary's Church, New Haven, during the commencement of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage’s Seton Route in the video below. The earthly remains of Blessed Michael McGivney are interred in a polished sarcophagus in New Haven’s St. Mary’s Church, where he founded the Knights of Columbus.
