Stories from the Street

Steve told him that nothing could be further from the truth, especially since the Catholic Church was the largest charitable organization in the world. This led to a conversation about faith. This man was living a very worldly life and didn’t see the need to change.
Steve shared his own conversion story about how he used to live that very lifestyle and then explained that worldly pleasures will only satisfy you temporarily and that such sin will often lead to ruin.
