On "EWTN News Nightly" tonight: The Census Bureau released new data that shows the nation's population grew by 7.4% over the past decade, the smallest amount since the 1930s. The South and West of the nation saw the largest gains, and as states redraw their congressional district, some will gain while others will lose seats in the House. And, in 1981, a cloistered nun launched what would become the world's largest religious media network. CEO and Chairman of the Board, Michael Warsaw, says Mother Angelica's mission lives on, as EWTN celebrates 40 years on Sunday. Correspondent Mark Irons takes us back through the years. Today is the first celebration of the feast of Blessed Michael McGivney, a Catholic priest and the founder of the Knights of Columbus. The Supreme Knight of the Knights of Columbus, Patrick Kelly, joins to remind us about Blessed Michael McGivney, what his background was and why he started the Knights of Columbus nearly 150 years ago. Finally this evening, beginning tonight and going through tomorrow afternoon is the Birmingham Eucharistic Congress at the Shrine of the Most Blessed Sacrament in Alabama, also the burial place of Mother Angelica. President of the Saint Paul Center for Biblical Theology, Dr. Scott Hahn, joins to tell us more about the Birmingham Eucharistic Congress, who can attend and what they should expect.
