Listen Later

In this episode of Living LIT—Living In Truth, Robyn sits down with Shari from Catholic Paper Goods to chat about one of their favorite saints—Saint John Paul II. Together, they dive into who this beloved and joy-filled pope really was, his deep love for Jesus, Mary and the Church, and how his powerful witness continues to shape our faith today.

From his courage in defending truth and human dignity to his ability to connect with people of every age and nation, Saint John Paul II showed the world what it looks like to live fully alive in Christ. His life and leadership transformed the Church and left a legacy that still echoes through every generation of believers.


Robyn and Shari reflect on his lasting impact and the beauty of his legacy within the Church.


Shari also shares the story of how Catholic Paper Goods came to be—a ministry born from her love for the faith and creativity, helping others bring beauty, truth, and joy into their everyday lives through her designs and products.
