St. Maximilian Kolbe (1894-1941) was a Polish Catholic priest and martyr. He founded the Militia Immaculata and promoted devotion to the Virgin Mary. During World War II, he was imprisoned in Auschwitz, where he selflessly volunteered to take the place of a condemned prisoner. His act of sacrificial love touched many.
St. Maximilian Kolbe’s life exemplifies the virtues of love, sacrifice, and forgiveness. His Feast Day is celebrated on August 14th. Canonized by the Catholic Church in 1982, he is revered as a saint and an inspiration to countless people worldwide.
