Kolbe Prison Ministries
This ministry is named for St. Maximilian Kolbe. Fr. Kolbe was arrested in the early days of World War 2 and sent to the Auschwitz concentration camp for the crimes of sheltering refugees, including 2,000 Jews and for issuing anti-Nazi publications. He continued his service as a priest and ultimately volunteered to die in the place of a total stranger. This man, Franciszek Gajowniczek, was present in St. Peter’s Square in 1982 when Fr. Kolbe was canonized by St. John Paul II.
