What is the Maximilian Kolbe Society?
The Catholic Foundation’s Maximilian Kolbe Society exists to build a community of Catholic lay men to grow in faith together and to support and empower the future priests of the Diocese of Houma-Thibodaux by providing spiritual, fraternal, and financial assistance to seminarians within the St. Joseph the Worker Seminarian House of Formation.
“Guided by the example of St. Maximilian Kolbe, we are committed to deepening our own faith formation through prayer, study, and service, fostering a vibrant community of men dedicated to the growth and vitality of the Church. Together, we strive to build a legacy of faith, charity, and spiritual growth for generations to come.”
