The main instrument for Saint Maximilian Kolbe to contact the Knights of the Immaculata was his monthly newsletter Rycerz Niepokalanej — “The Knight of the Immaculata” which he started to print in 1922 with 5,000 copies. In 1939 the Polish edition reached a readership of one million. Since 2010 in Poland some zealous knights have been publishing a similar newsletter for all Polish Knights of the Catholic Tradition. In 2015 they were followed by a beautiful little brother in the German language. We want to follow their example and present you with the first issue in English of “The Knight of the Immaculata”, which should be published once every two months.

The goal of such a newsletter is to inform all Knights about the apostolate and life of the Militia Immaculatae worldwide, to present them with some spiritual texts, to offer them some tools for the apostolic work and for their own perseverance and growth in zeal (tools in the form of flyers, booklets, testimonies of the miraculous effects of the M.I. prayer crusade, other testimonies of Knights etc).

This newsletter is not only for the Knights themselves, but also for them to use as a means to attract good willing souls to become interested in the M.I., so that they may join the little army of Our Lady. So don’t hesitate to take copies for your friends and relatives.

All Knights whose email addresses we have will receive the newsletter online. Please forward it, as widely as you can. Those who have no email facility will receive a hardcopy from the moderators.

I ask for your prayers for this new “baby” of the traditional MILITIA IMMACULATAE.

I send you my priestly blessings.

Yours thankfully,

Fr. Karl Stehlin
