058: What You Should Know About Padre Pio (w/ Nick Gibboni and Vera Marie Calandra)

In this episode of The Cordial Catholic Podcast, I'm joined by two guests from the National Center for Padre Pio in Barto, PA, USA. Nick Gibboni is the Executive Director of the Center and Vera Marie Calandra, Vice President, and daughter of the founders of the National Center.

We discuss all things Padre Pio–my favourite saint–including his miraculous life, his incredible charisms and abilities, and the example that this holy saint has left behind for us Catholic Christians to emulate and follow. Plus, Vera Marie discusses the miracles which she herself was a recipient of–and it's an incredible one!
