St. Kolbe as Patron Saint of Entrepreneurs
The Kolbe Children's Business Fair is named after St. Maximillian Kolbe a prophetic entrepreneur who launched a number of start-ups during his life with inspiration from God. His magazine venture operated on the “economy of gratitude” and grew from 5,000 a month to over 800,000 before he was martyred at Auschwitz. He was named "the prophet of the civilization of love" by Pope John Paul II and there is a movement to have him named the patron saint of entrepreneurs. The Kolbe Children's Business Fair seeks to encourage prophetic entrepreneurship and the vital role of faith in business for the next generation.
