You're listening to a podcast on Catholic Saints.

This podcast is produced by the Augustine Institute, an Apostolate helping Catholics understand, live, and share their faith.

Hello, welcome to Catholic Saints.

My name is Mary McGeehan, and I am joined with Dr. Carl Van derstrom,

and we are talking about Catholic Saints. Thanks for listening. Carl, Dr. Vanershom, how are you doing today?

I am doing very well and glad to be here. Good, good, good. I'm excited to dive into the life of St. Rose of Lima. But first,

Yes, I will be ready to do that, although I doubt there will be anything relevant, unfortunately.

in our life and their legacy

to the church. So I've heard a lot about St. Rose of Lima. I know she's from Peru, clearly. And I do know
