the HippieCatholic the HippieCatholic

This is a series I will be doing on the podcast where I interview everyday elderly Catholic women. These women have shaped the faith for generations & will continue to do so!

Thank you so much to Franciscan Peacemakers for collaborating with the HippieCatholic!
Franciscan Peacemakers connects women survivors of sexual exploitation to safe housing, meaningful work and a healing network of support. They work to end human trafficking through service and advocacy because they believe that everyone is created to enjoy peace and all good.
Soaps, candles, bath bombs, & gift sets for every occasion are lovingly created by survivors in recovery. Products are made with all natural ingredients! Since the Peacemakers are a non-profit, they are not a sponsor. However, they are a supporter & a collaborator which is very much appreciated.
