The Inspiring Story of Saint Maximilian Kolbe

Born in Poland in 1894, Saint Maximilian Kolbe was a Franciscan priest whose life was devoted to Jesus and the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Known as the Knight of the Immaculata because of his deep devotion to Our Lady, Saint Maximilian believed in sharing God's love with the world through prayer, kindness and service to others.

In 1927, he founded the City of the Immaculata, a Franciscan community dedicated to spreading the Catholic faith and encouraging devotion to Mary.

During the Second World War, Father Kolbe was imprisoned at Auschwitz concentration camp. In an extraordinary act of selfless love, he volunteered to take the place of another prisoner who had been condemned to death.

Saint Maximilian died in 1941 and was canonised by Pope Saint John Paul II in 1982, who honoured him as a Martyr of Charity.

His remarkable life reminds us that even in the darkest circumstances, we can choose courage, compassion and love for others.

Helping Children Discover the Saints

The beautiful Little Drops Catholic Saints Collection has been designed to help children, grandchildren and godchildren discover Jesus, Mary and the saints in a gentle and engaging way.

With their sweet expressions and colourful designs, these little statues are perfect for encouraging conversations about faith, prayer and the wonderful people who have followed Jesus throughout history.

Saint Maximilian Kolbe's story is especially meaningful for teaching children about kindness, courage, generosity and putting others before ourselves.
