    “Father McGivney’s vision remains as relevant as ever in the changed circumstances of today’s church and society.”?Pope John Paul II Is now the time for an American parish priest to be declared a Catholic saint? At heart, though, Father McGivney was never anything more than an American parish priest, and nothing less than that, either?beloved by children, trusted by young adults, and regarded as a “positive saint” by the elderly in his New Haven parish. Moving and inspirational, Parish Priest chronicles the process of canonization that may well make Father McGivney the first American-born parish priest to be declared a saint by the Vatican.
