St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic Church

What St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic Church does

St. Maximilian Kolbe Catholic Church is a Catholic parish founded in 1989, operating under the Archdiocese of Cincinnati from a single campus at 5720 Hamilton Mason Road in Liberty Township, Ohio, with 64 staff and volunteers. It serves Catholic parishioners in Liberty Township and surrounding Butler County through regular worship services (Saturday Vigil, two Sunday Masses, daily weekday Masses, First Friday Mass), the Sacrament of Reconciliation with multiple weekly slots, and perpetual Eucharistic Adoration including Thursday exposition through evening Benediction. The parish streams Masses remotely via StreamSpot for homebound, hospitalized, and traveling members.

The parish operates a comprehensive faith formation and pastoral care portfolio across all life stages: Mighty Max preschool formation ($50/session, capacity 12), Ablaze high school youth ministry, Young Adults and Adult Discipleship through the Disciples Radiating Christ (DRC) program with small Disciple Groups, sacramental preparation (Baptism, Confirmation, First Communion, Marriage, Anointing of the Sick), and pastoral care via Stephen Ministry, Blessed Encounters (homebound visits — 344 visits in its first year), the Recovering from Divorce program, Moms of St. Max, and Companions on a Journey grief support. Outreach is delivered through partnerships with Serve City Shelter (CHOSEN meals), Family Promise of Butler County, Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Catholic Charities Southwestern Ohio, and an international twinning ministry with St. Patrick's Parish in Soroti, Uganda (50 water wells funded, 161 catechist families supported, 100-bed girls' dormitory at Holy Angels Secondary School).

The business model is non-profit and donation-funded: weekly tithes and offerings via envelopes and bank withdrawal, online giving through ParishSoft and FaithDirect, modest program fees (e.g., Mighty Max), and merchandise sales via Spiritsale.com. Go-to-market is community-led rather than commercial — parish communications run through the Squarespace website, Flocknote SMS/email, parish bulletins, and word-of-mouth. No public financial reporting is available, and there are no AI/ML, proprietary technology, or commercial revenue mechanics; the underlying "platform" is a faith community, clergy, lay ministers, and volunteers supported by standard parish SaaS tools.
