West Mifflin, PA in 1867, is a viable Catholic community that

to know and become one with Jesus Christ reaching out in service to
all.
Mission Statement of St. Maximilian Kolbe: St. Maximilian Kolbe
Parish has a proud ethnic and faith-filled history. Our goal is to

centered around the Eucharistic table of the Lord.

Parish Appreciation Dinner - As is customary in January,
Father Dan likes to schedule a parish appreciation dinner for all
parishioners who have helped to support the parish this past year
and plan on continuing their support through ministry in the
Church through fish fry, festival, bake shop, flea market, just to
name a few, and those who contribute through their weekly offer-
ing. The Church is always asking and I believe the Church also
needs to give back. And, since Father Dan and the staff take care
of St. Agnes and St. Max, there will be a joint dinner held on
Saturday, January 21st in Max Hall. H’orderves will be served
from 5:00-6:15 p.m. and buffet style dinner served from 6:30-7:30
p.m. The Mansfield 5 will play from 7:30-10:30 p.m. And, since
January 21st is also the Feast of St. Agnes, Mass will be celebrated
at St. Max by either Father Mark or Father Martin, and will also be
celebrated at St. Agnes by Father Dan. Both Masses will take
place at 4:00 p.m. so that everyone can arrive at the party at the
same time. All you need to do is RSVP by Monday, January
16th by noon, by calling 412-461-1054 with the number attending
in your family.
