Catholic ping!
As part of a penance earlier this year, I had to read either the Book of Sirach or a book on the life of a saint. I picked St. Maximilian Kolbe. The book was primarily made up of other people’s recollections of him and his life. It made a huge impact on me and I made sure to attend Mass for his feast day today.
A great man and a great saint.
Yea!
We are members of Malitia Immaculata.
King Vanity and I attended two consecutive teen summer camps here in Oregon when he was a teen.
Greatest Catholic Nuns/Fathers and Families we have ever met.
Sister Ann is a very special person in our hearts.
They were so good at teaching the teens about Mass and respecting the traditions of the Mass.
Many wonderful memories of those two summers.
We yearly resubmit in Prayer our commitment.
The name of St. Maximillian's dedicated group is called "Militia Immaculata."
