"The need for an organization dedicated to the Immaculata was the result of several incidents which occured in Rome in 1917. This saw the second centenary celebration of Freemasonry, and true to form they chose the Holy City of Rome as the theatre of sacriligious demonstrations. In front of the Vatican, the Freemasons paraded signs which read 'Satan must reign in the Vatican. The Pope will be his slave.' Scurilous pamphlets directed against the Holy Father were disributed among the people. Friar Maximilian, who was not yet a priest, saw this and immediately hit upon the idea of forming an association which would combat not only the Freemasons, but also protagonists of the Devil." -- Fr. Jeremiah J. Smith, O.E.M. CONV., "Saint Maximillion Kolbe: Knight of the Immaculata, pages 15-16, Tan Books and Publishers, Inc.

" After the example of Saint Francis of Assisi's taking off to convert the sultan, one day he asked his superior's permission to go to convert the grand master of the Freemasons. The Masons were making a racket around the Vatican. They had unfurled fire-red banners depicting the dragon bringing down Saint Michael, as if to announce to the papacy, already stripped of its temporal power, the impending reversal of spiritual power." -- Andre Frossard, "Forget Not Love: The Passion of Maximillion Kolbe", page 39, Ignatius Press, San Francisco, 1991

The work of Maximillion Kolbe is carried on in the United States by the Franciscans at Franciscan Marytown in Libertyvile, Illinois. This is the American headquarters of the Knights of the Immaculata.
