A modern-day saint is revered here at Marytown: Saint Maximilian Kolbe. Pilgrims are welcome to venerate the relics of this Polish Conventual Franciscan priest, publisher, theologian and evangelist. His life of charity and heroic death in the Auschwitz death camp is commemorated in the Kolbe/Holocaust Exhibit.
