WELCOME TO THE ST. MAXIMILIAN KOLBE FRATERNITY
ABOUT OUR FRATERNITY
The St. Maximillian Kolbe Secular Franciscan fraternity started in 1989 as part of the Kolbe Project to help AIDS victims in the Houston area. Since that time we have grown and taken on new challenges to help our community but we continue to keep God at the center of everything we do.
