Ways to Honor a Loved One
Leaves
A Commemorative Leaf on our Memorial Trees is a beautiful way to create a lasting memory for loved ones.
Commemorative Engraved Bricks
A Commemorative Brick in our Devotional Room is a great way to create a lasting memory for loved ones. Messages can be for any occasion including memorials for deceased, anniversary, birthday celebrations, or just a special message.
Candle Rooms
A votive candle or prayer candles are placed before a statue of Jesus or of the Blessed Virgin Mary and Saints intended to be burnt as an offering in an act of Christian prayer.
We offer Monthly, Annual Vigil Candles along with Special Intentions.
Rosary Garden
Our Rosary Garden is by the pond and Blessed Mary’s outdoor statue. The rosary is made up of bricks in the ground that can be memorialized.
Please keep in mind that the Rosary Garden bricks are limited.
Mass Cards & Special Intentions
Mass Cards symbolize the prayers the worshipper is offering for him or herself, or for other people. We offer Multiple Intention and Individual Mass Cards for special intentions to remember a loved one or someone who is sick or has passed away.
We also offer and post in our weekly bulletin special intentions of someone you would like to remember through the Bread and Wine used at our Masses, Altar and Sanctuary Candles and weekly beautiful Altar Flower arrangements.
Dedication Tree
Honor a relative, a loved one, or a special friend, death of a loved one or member of your community by dedicating a tree in their name. It might be used to commemorate a significant beginning or ending or a special occasion. Many people have planted trees to celebrate an anniversary, a birth or a significant change. Dedicated Trees are a unique and thoughtful way to celebrate life and love while making a meaningful contribution to the Saint Maximilian Kolbe Community.

Bishop's Message on Vaccines
Bishop O’Connell is pleased to share with you his video message encouraging all parishioners to get vaccinated and about a Catholic Charities initiative to assist parishes. While this is not a requirement, getting vaccinated is an act of charity. We are aware that many in the Latino, Hispanic and Black communities have had trouble getting access to the vaccine - even though they have been disproportionately impacted by COVID-19. Catholic Charities is now working to fix those inequities by:
- Helping people in our parishes pre-register for and get vaccines.
- Conducting COVID-19 Testing
- Building a community health worker workforce with community colleges.
- And encouraging people to join the “COVID Community Corps” as volunteers to help others access the vaccine.
