The Nativity of Our Lady
September 8, 2026
From the beginning of our apostolate our primary motive has been to “give unto the Lord the glory due His Name.” After experiencing in our own lives the transformative power of believing in the true Catholic doctrine of creation as the foundation of our Faith and as the only firm foundation for an intimate relationship with Our Lord, we have proclaimed that truth wherever we could find an open door. To that end, we have embraced the Franciscan spirit of our secondary patron, St. Maximilian Kolbe, so that we could reach as many souls as possible—as quickly as possible. Thus, we have always offered our books and materials on a “suggested donation” basis. When we travel, we ask to stay in rectories or homes, rather than in hotels. We have accepted invitations to go to every continent except Antarctica, often without even being offered reimbursement for our travel expenses. We offer our materials at no cost to bishops, priests and laity in poor circumstances; and the testimonies we receive from clergy and laity all over the world confirm that Our Lord and the Blessed Mother are granting tremendous graces to those who study our materials and embrace the traditional Catholic doctrine of creation.
We are greatly encouraged by the receptivity of young Catholics, including young priests, religious and seminarians, who have embraced the traditional doctrine of creation and who testify to the transformative effect it has had on their spiritual lives. A newly-ordained priest recently articulated sentiments that we have heard from priests and seminarians all over the world. He wrote:
I want to express my gratitude to you and all the work your team is doing at the Kolbe Center. I have such respect for your steadfastness in promoting the truth of the traditional doctrine of Creation at a time when those inside and outside the Church are so hostile to it. I have always been skeptical of evolution; it is something that never sat right with me. However, because I never looked into it, I unfortunately parroted the line: "The Church allows you to believe in either evolution or creationism." However, at St. Charles Borromeo Seminary, an entire "human formation day" was dedicated to guest speakers talking about Theistic Evolution. This catapulted me into a deep dive on Creationism and your website, the Kolbe Center, was invaluable in elucidating the traditional doctrine of the Church. I've come to appreciate just how much havoc this error of evolution has wreaked on generations of Catholics, which has motivated me even more to learn about the traditional doctrine of creation, especially as I have been called to be a shepherd of souls.
Among our top priorities for 2027 are the following:
- To establish the St. John of Damascus Icon Workshop as a Catholic source of traditional holy icons on creation. By the grace of God, we have found a Catholic artist who is willing and able to spearhead this important project which will make it possible for us to make the beautiful traditional Catholic icons of creation available to our members throughout the world. As we have demonstrated in our published materials, evolutionary mythology did not gain acceptance from the intellectual elite of the once-Christian world through scientific arguments but through a false iconography; and we will not restore the true Catholic doctrine of creation, unless we replace the diabolical iconography of evolution with the true iconography of the Church which makes present to us the divine work of the six days of creation and the whole sacred history of Genesis.
- To expand our leadership team and network to reach millions of Spanish-speaking Catholics
- To complete and publish a greatly revised and expanded version of Pamela Acker’s monumental book on vaccination
- To complete the rest of the DVD series “How the World Was Made in Six Days”
- To complete and publish books and videos for children that will inspire them to hold fast to the truth of God’s Genesis Revelation and its assurance that He created the world for us and that each of them is “the apple of His eye.” We are about to publish the original children’s book St. Jonah and the Ketos which has received rave reviews from Bishop Fabian Bruskewitz, Bishop Marian Eleganti, Mother Abbess Cecilia of the Benedictines of Mary, Fr. Lawrence Carney, and Mr. Joseph Pearce.
- To maintain and expand our outreach in Uganda, especially through the far-reaching apostolate of Stephen Ogol and the Creation Ambassadors who enjoy the whole-hearted support of Bishop Joseph Eliach of the Diocese of Soroti. We also want to support and publish the original, ground-breaking research of our colleague Guma Gumisiriza James who is traveling around East Africa interviewing tribal leaders and historians to document the way that authentic tribal histories confirm the literal historical truth of the sacred history of Genesis and refute the diabolical myth of human evolution from a common ancestor of humans and chimpanzees.
- To complete and publish books, articles, and presentations that fill in any remaining gaps in our defense of the traditional reading of the sacred history of Genesis, especially the second volume of Mrs. Owen’s Introduction to Latin, Latina Ecclesiae per Genesim Data, which will use Chapters 4-10 of the sacred history of Genesis to review and teach the grammar and vocabulary that students will need so that they can achieve a working knowledge of Church Latin.
We also ask for your prayers for these endeavors even if you cannot contribute financially.
The Give, Send, Go will continue until the Feast of the Immaculate Conception, and in the coming weeks we will offer a variety of special gifts in appreciation for the generosity of those who have already donated and to those who will donate between now and the 8th of December, the 26th anniversary of the founding of the Kolbe Center.

May God reward you!
Through the prayers of the Holy Theotokos, of St. Joseph, Terror of Demons, of St. Maximilian Kolbe, and of all the Holy Angels and Saints, may the Holy Ghost deliver us from all evil and error and guide us all into all the Truth!
In Domino,
Hugh Owen
