About Podcast

Just a Catholic mom of 2 souls in heaven and 3 kids on earth trying to reach out to others who want to share their story and get to know the Saints. I'm Madeleine Karako and I love stories about the saints. The Saints are friends sent from Heaven that lead us closer to the Holy Trinity. In my "Saintly Sidekick" interviews, my guests share personal, miraculous stories about how the Saints influenced them in their life, especially during times of trial.

I am the founder of Zelie Crafts, a Catholic shop for families in need. Please stop by for a visit!
