The Archdiocese of Hartford and Blessed Michael McGivney Parish of New Haven are honored to have been selected as the starting location of the Saint Elizabeth Ann Seton Route of the National Eucharistic Pilgrimage. New Haven's strong Catholic identity and its status as the city where Blessed Michael McGivney founded the Knights of Columbus in 1882 make it an apt starting point for one of just four routes converging in Indianapolis for the National Eucharistic Congress later this summer.
