Lloyd G. LeCain and his wife, Valentine Nishihara, served the country as officers of the U.S. Navy. Both of them had attained the rank of captain when they retired from the service. Lloyd LeCain currently operates a heavy construction company in Washington, D.C. He is actively involved in community service through various organizations that work among veterans. Lloyd LeCain is a member of the Knights of Columbus (K of C).
The worldwide membership of the K of C is in a state of jubilation after the Vatican, through Pope Francis, has decreed the beatification of K of C’s founder, Father Michael McGivney. In a decree read by Cardinal Joseph Tobin of Newark during the beatification Mass, Father McGivney, now officially addressed as Blessed Michael McGivney, was remembered for being zealous in proclaiming the Gospel, for being generous toward others, and for his love for his parishioners. His crowning achievement, however, was the founding of the K of C. The beatification Mass, which was held at St. Joseph’s Cathedral in Hartford, Connecticut, on October 31, was scheduled after Pope Francis announced on May 27 the approval of a decree that linked a miracle to an intercession by Father McGivney. Michael Schachle was miraculously healed from fetal hydrops, a medical condition found among fetuses characterized by abnormal accumulation of fluids in the fetal compartments.
