The Captain reminds us Catholics that today is feast day for Saint Maximilian Kolbe (my favorite saint!) and gives us information on how he became a Saint. I wrote a bit about him and other things in this post at TexasSparkle. Steve Janke provides some interesting background on Father Kolbe and why he should also be the Patron saint of bloggers!
