St. Maximilian Kolbe

Maximilian was first a priest, then promoted to a catholic priest with his brother in 1917. He was still present when World War II. The priest was active at the radio transporting actions of the Nazi's. 

Soon enough he got captured by the Nazis and was placed prisoner for persecution later on. In his time there he thought men about songs and praying to God. A man was then elected to die but he begged the soldiers to let him live because of his family. 

Maximilian took attention of the Nazis and declared for him to die instead. "I have no family and none will miss me, so take me instead". It took a while for him to  persuade the soldiers to take his life but died as they finally agreed. The man survived the war and returned to his family.

Why Is Mission Day Important To Us? - by Aleenah

Why Is Mission Day Important To Us? - by Aleenah

Mission day is a fundraising event that our school takes part in to help an orphanage in India. 

Our school makes this fun for children so we make up stalls to make money and then send it to the Holy Angels Orphanage in India. People play or buy things from the stalls we created. 

The Holy Angels Orphanage was established by the Mission Sisters which is a way of continuing their work but for us to have a great relationship with them. The Mission Sisters not only built an orphanage but a boarding school and a medical clinic for the place. 

As the mission partnership of the orphanage and school,  We do this as it reminds us of our responsibility to help people in different areas. Our school also prays for the work for the missionaries who’ve people other people in the world.

Mission day is very important to us because the children in the Holy Orphanage is our Mission Partnership.
