One of the most moving periods of Fr. McGivney’s time in New Haven was his ministry to Chip Smith, a man who had been sentenced to death. The priest’s pastoral care, even for a man who had committed a terrible crime, led to a truly profound and inspiring conversion. To learn more about Fr. McGivney’s ministry to Chip Smith and so many others in need, check out Part 2 of our series “McGivney: Priest of Connecticut.”
