Maximilian Kolbe

We are learning about saints. I enjoyed learning about what Maximilian did. I found it difficult to find the information because there was a lot of stuff that he did.

Maximilian’s feast day is on August 14th.
He is the patron of drug addicts, prisoners, and families. He was born on January the 8 in 1894.  His real name was Raymund Kolbe.

Maximilian was taken to a prison and he used to pray for the guards. Then one day this man was going to be executed. Maximilian said, “Execute me,” because the other man had a wife and a son and a daughter. So they executed Maximilian. He died in August 14 in 1941.
