Happy Feast Day!



Today is kind of a big one for us:

It is our son's first feast day.

Maximilian is the patron of the church where my wife and I married.

We have both been to Auschwitz and seen the place of his martyrdom, and my wife has actually met Francis Gajowniczek, the man whose place Maximilian took on death row in the camp. Even with that great feat, for which he is so well known, there are many other less well known but equally amazing examples of his holiness, so read this article and pray to this great saint today on his feast!
