Year 6 Class Saint
Saint Maximilian Kolbe
Saint Maximilian Kolbe was a Polish Priest during the Second World War and was strongly influenced by his vision of Mary. When World War Two began, he was one of the only Franciscans to stay in the monastery and he opened up a hospital for those who had been injured. He also provided shelter for refugees. He was later arrested and sent to Auschwitz. After two months at the concentration camp, many men were sent to starve to death. Kolbe was not one of them, yet decided to trade places with one of the young man who still had a family at home. After two weeks Kolbe was still alive and was killed by injection. During his suffering he remained calm and prayed daily for the men suffering along side him.
Feast Day: 14th August

Welcome to the planet’s coldest lands…Vast wilds and hostile territories – incredibly beautiful, yet often deadly. Take shelter from the elements or fall prey to icy winds and the deepest chill. Trek bravely and valiantly across treacherous terrain to the ends of the Earth, treading deep in snow or be pulled by a team of mighty sled dogs.
Become part of an Antarctic rescue team, braving the elements to rescue terrified passengers from a ship struck by a deadly iceberg. So wrap up well everyone and settle by the fire. I’m just going outside and may be some time…
