Updated List of Steve’s Prepared Talks for Parishes and Conferences

by Steve Ray on November 13, 2019

Nothing like standing in front of an excited group of on-fire Catholics wanting to learn and grow in the truth of our Faith. To see eager eyes and ready ears inspires me.

Kids love these talks too – because of the energetic style and delivery full of content and good stories.

What a thrill to have so many young people come up afterward and thank me for turning them on to a deeper understanding and a fun time. Kids in an audience are great and to see their lives affected for the better is a thrill.

We have lots of talks and materials. Click the image for a complete list with categories – from Bible Study and Apologetics/Evangelization to Atheism and Islam.

Biblical characters like Abraham, Moses, Mary and St. Paul are excellent vehicles for relaying the biblical and Catholic truth in an exciting way that is easy to relate to.

New talks include: The Shoud of Turin & Tilma of Guadalupe, The Necessary Road to Holiness, How Does a John Paul II Catholic Survive in a Pope Francis World, and more.

Looking for a conference speaker for an exciting parish mission? Check out Steve’s www.InviteSteve.com for more info, schedules, topics and lots of pictures and recommendations.

Most of these talks are also available for purchase at www.SteveRaysStore.com

With Great Friends in Wichita Kansas

by Steve Ray on August 3, 2019

IMG_8025It is always great being with 4,000 on-fire Catholics who bring their whole families to be recharged and full of life. Catholics are marvelous folks. Love being with old friends like Terry Barber, Fr. Callaway, Dr. Ray Guarendi, Tim Staples and Bishop Kemme. A lot of other great folks too.

I was blessed to be able to speak on “The Shroud of Turin: God’s Love Letter Written with his Own Blood” and “A Virtual Tour of the Life of St. Paul.”

0713D35B-0056-408D-A083-ED08DAA39679Next on our way to 6 days alone with our 4 kids and 16 grandkids! Lovely! Then to EWTN in Alabama for two TV shows (EWTN Live with Fr.

Eucharistic Congress & Procession in Atlanta Georgia

by Steve Ray on June 22, 2019

5EDA6650-91A9-4B97-A992-9B6FC3ECC225What is it like to be among 35,000+ enthusiastic Catholics from every conceivable language, skin color, national culture and income level — all gathered to worship Jesus Christ and revel in the beauty of the Universal Catholic Church?

You realize you are not alone. You are part of a huge family, an army, a spiritual kingdom! It is invigorating and inspiring.

0DE3379B-D45E-4645-AF6B-D3B2089FA373My good friend Liz Lev (our guide for our Rome pilgrimages) gave a excellent talk on art and how it affects us in the church and how we need to reclaim our history. I followed her with my talk on the Shroud of Turin and evidence which is beyond reputation for the truth of Catholicism.

F4A4ED80-5A04-49C4-B967-33C9AB25CDFBIt was a busy day with talking with lots of people and four radio interviews and a great time together.
