GREEN BAY, Wisconsin. (March 25, 2022) — Author Patrick Novecosky was a guest on Relevant Radio’s Drew Mariani Show today talking about Pope Francis’ consecration of Russia and Ukraine to the Immaculate Heart of Mary in St. Peter’s Basilica earlier in the day.

During the 22-minute segment on the Solemnity of the Annunciation, host Drew Mariani asked Novecosky about John Paul II’s consecration of Russia in 1984, his five meetings with the Polish pontiff, and the importance of Pope Francis’ entrustment of the warring countries to Our Lady. Novecosky remarked that the text of the Holy Father’s consecration could just as easily have been penned by John Paul II. The interview concluded with Novecosky talking about how he met Pope Francis in 2016 and how he made the pope laugh out loud. See the photo below.
