ANN ARBOR, Michigan (December 20, 2024) — Patrick Novecosky was a guest on Ave Maria Radio’s “Epiphany” program with host Vanessa Denha Garmo this afternoon. Novecosky’s book, 100 Ways John Paul II Changed the World (OSV 2020), was the program’s featured book of the month.
They discussed how Novecosky met John Paul II five times and how the legendary pontiff’s 26-hear reign impacted the world. They touched on John Paul’s relationships with St. Padre Pio, soon-to-be Blessed Fulton J. Sheen, and St. Teresa of Calcutta. Novecosky noted that John Paul’s papacy was focused on human dignity with an emphasis on evangelization.
