St. Maksymilian Maria Kolbe is the patron saint of people struggling with substance use disorders and addiction, an association that stems from his death by carbolic acid injection at the hands of the Nazis in 1941. Kolbe is also a patron of political prisoners, journalists, families, and the pro-life movement.
