I am Maximilian Kolbe<br />
1894 – 1941<br />
I was a Polish Franciscan friar, who provided<br />
shelter to Jewish refugees during World War II.<br />
I was arrested and sent to the German death<br />
camp of Auschwitz. There I volunteered to die<br />
in place of a man who had been randomly<br />
chosen with 9 others. This man was weeping<br />
<strong>for</strong> his wife and child. I felt great mercy <strong>for</strong> him.<br />
I am Mary Glowery<br />
1887 – 1957<br />
I graduated from Melbourne University as a<br />
Medical Doctor in 1919. I was the first president<br />
of the Catholic Women’s Social Guild (now<br />
Catholic Women’s League). In 1920 I went to India<br />
to minister to the poor. There I entered the<br />
Society of Jesus, Mary and Joseph, a Dutch order<br />
of nuns and spent the next 37 years involved with<br />
medical missionary work in Guntur, India.
