About the Kolbe Center
The Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation is a Catholic apostolate founded in 2000 to educate the public, particularly within the Catholic Church, in the truth of creation as revealed by Sacred Scripture and Sacred Tradition and as confirmed by the findings of modern science.
With the help of experts in the fields of theology, philosophy, and natural science, the Kolbe Center also seeks to show the superiority of special creation over all forms of molecules-to-man evolution as an explanation of the origins of man and the universe. Its patrons are the Immaculate Conception and St. Maximilian Kolbe.
Endorsements
The Kolbe Center’s work has been endorsed by noted faithful Catholics including Bishop Athanasius Schneider (who visited the Diocese of Charlotte in 2017), theologian/exorcist Fr. Chad Ripperger, and many others in both the Latin and Eastern Rites of the Catholic Church.
May the work of the Kolbe Center be wide spread and help to free the people of our days from the greatest myth of modern times and help them at the same time to direct their intellectual and spiritual glance to God their Creator. +Bishop Athanasius Schneider
During a time in which clarity regarding a very difficult topic is necessary due to a great deal of confusion, I highly recommend the seminars given by the Kolbe Center for the Study of Creation. Having heard the seminars personally, I can testify to their orthodoxy as well as to their scientific rigor. – Fr. Chad Ripperger
