Militia Immaculatae

The Militia Immaculatae (MI), or the "Militia of the Immaculate," is a spiritual movement within the Catholic Church founded by Saint Maximilian Kolbe in 1917. Its mission is to promote devotion to the Virgin Mary, specifically her role as the Immaculate Conception, and to encourage members to lead evangelistic lives. Members commit to spreading Mary's message of love and purity, participating in prayer, acts of charity, and helping others grow in their faith. MI emphasizes the importance of living out one's faith actively and sharing it with the world through Mary's guidance.
