Pope St. John Paul II visited Canada in 1984 and again in 2002.

EDMONTON, Alberta, Canada (January 13, 2022) — Author and international speaker Patrick Novecosky was a guest on The Catholic Canuck Podcast today. Host David Skuban asked Novecosky about his upbringing in Saskatchewan. Novecosky discussed growing up Catholic on the Canadian prairies, his faith journey, his five encounters with John Paul II, and how JP2’s 1984 visit to Canada affected him.

Novecosky’s book 100 Ways John Paul II Changed the World honors the Polish Pontiff’s legacy and his impact on the world throughout his nearly 27-year pontificate.

Author-signed copies of Novecosky’s book are available here. The book is also available on Amazon and at the OSV Bookstore.
