Steve Ray was received into the Catholic Church on Pentecost Sunday in 1994 following a long faith journey that explored his Protestant roots.

He is the author of five books and producer of the popular video series, “Footprints of God,” and has been a regular guest on EWTN, Relevant Radio and others.
