NATIONAL SHRINE OF ST. MAXIMILIAN KOLBE
During the Jubilee Year 2000, the National Conference of Catholic Bishops
designated Marytown as the National Shrine of
St. Maximilian Kolbe.
Pilgrims are welcome to venerate the relics of this
Polish Conventual Franciscan priest, publisher, theologian and evangelist.
His life of charity and heroic death in the Auschwitz death camp is
commemorated in our
Kolbe/Holocaust Memorial.
St.
Maximilian is considered the patron of journalists, families, prisoners,
the pro-life movement and those afflicted with chemical dependency and
eating disorders.
ARE YOU CALLED TO CONSECRATE YOUR LIFE to the Blessed
Virgin Mary? Contact the
Militia of the Immaculata
national center at Marytown for more information.
