The Cardinal was a Knight of Columbus for nearly 50 years. He received the Gaudium et Spes award, the highest honor given by the Knights of Columbus. Quoting Supreme Knight Carl Anderson: he was, "a man of extraordinary faith and ability whose enthusiasm in the service of God was an inspiration to all who had the privilege of knowing him."

 

Once he described his own vocation as "the story of a happy, happy priest who simply wants to tell the whole world that the priesthood of our church is a truly important way to serve God, and a way of life on which our Catholic people - indeed our world-depend so much."

About Our Council
The James Cardinal Hickey Council was founded in May of 2006 through the efforts of several men of the Parish of St. Brigid, with the guidance of Fr. James Bessert, our Pastor and a 4th Degree Knight. The Council was named to honor a "son" of the Saint Brigid Parish, a man who dedicated his life to service, and who believed in active support of the religious vocations. The Cardinal especially supported the efforts of the Knights of Columbus. The James Cardinal Hickey Council was formed to work closely with the St.Brigid Parish in Midland, of the Diocese of Saginaw to: 1. Support the Catholic vocations, 2. Support our Pastor, and 3. Support the Parish Community through service in various projects and activities. Present and prospective members are expected to be active participants in our Parish and Council service.
