Contact Steve
Steve is unable to answer all the questions he receives. We are concerned about you and your questions, but due to the increased number of e-mails Steve receives and the demands on his time (due to writing deadlines, travel for the Footprints of God video series, leading pilgrimages, teaching at conferences, writing, and trying to keep the lawn mowed :-) please consider the following:
1. Steve has provided writings and studies to answer many of the most common questions. Also his books, videos, and audio CD’s will answer many of the frequently asked questions.
2. Steve’s Discussion Board is a very helpful and personal resource. You can easily join many different forums with knowledgeable Catholics who are ready and willing to answer questions and help with understanding and defending the Catholic faith.
3. If you have specific questions about the Bible, the Catholic Church, or if you need personal guidance about the Catholic faith, there are many great apologetic and general Catholic sites listed on my Link’s page. Check out Biblical Evidence for Catholicism.
4. I would specifically recommend Catholic Answers with a marvelous set of resources and several Catholic apologists trained to answer inquiries about Catholicism. You can call their Apologist’s Line free of charge at 619-387-7200 (Monday–Friday, 9 AM–5 PM, Pacific Time).
5. If you are considering converting to the Catholic faith, you can find compassionate and understanding guidance from The Coming Home Network.
6. Other great sources for information can be found here: Haydock Bible Commentary, Catholic Encyclopedia, Fathers writing on the Gospels, Aquinas’ Summa Theologica, Fr. Hardon’s Bible Dictionary, On-line Catechism, Vatican website, and EWTN.

Dear Steve
I would love to bring you to New York for a Conference. We would like to know how much it would cost to bring you to New York. What will be the best time? What topic you have in your collection of conference would be good for a Parish that may need an intro to the Catholic faith. I would be inviting people from our cluster, and throughout of New York and possibly in New Jersey. Please Mr. Ray, we would like to bring to New York.
Please contact me at 718-392-0011/ 718-937-5174/ 347-901-3155.
You can also e-mail me
Thank you for reading my letter and blessed Advent and Christmas to you and your family.

Dear Steve
Received a call from Mr. J. Ray. THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR YOUR CALL. As for the dates, I was looking on your site for dates, just to compare what does you would work for you and for us. Your e-calendar was giving me problems, it would malfunction.
The Months I would like to throw at you would be June, July, August, – Probably September or October to give us time to promote in our area, our cluster and throughout the New York area.
This would be the first time having this event, or in my experience my first time setting it up. Definitely will call to get more details. Your site gives me some leads. Did some research on the Hotel as the one you work with the most is just a 50 Blocks from our area – nearest to Laguardia Airport.
I am also connecting with my contacts to see if they will sponsor this event, so that we may provide the money in time for Steve’s visit.
Please send me an idea for Sept or Oct. that way I can present the plans to my Pastor. I am looking forward in hearing from you, and I hope before you get this email that I can call you.
God bless you and keep you safe.

I am interested in keeping in touch with this website and especially with you Steve Ray. I am a Catholic from a third world where Catholic faith is thriving but on milk. The materials and discussions on this and other Catholoc sites have really attracted my interest and keenness to learn more from them.
I hope I can keep in touch and learn more on the faith.
God Bless you all and Very Merry Christmas!!
STEVE ,
MERRY CHRISTMAS !

Dear Mr. Steve Ray,
Good Day sir!
I have a thesis project and I have chosen this topic “Catholic beliefs on After Life” Is this topic okay?
Or is it disrespectful for our Catholic Faith?
- maybe because we shouldn’t talk about things beyond our knowledge or things which God is the only one who knew?
Any comments bad or good is very much welcomed. Your reply would be deeply appreciated. Thank You so much! More Power!
Sincerely yours,
Jamie
STEVE RAY HERE. THAT IS A PERFECTLY GOOD TOPIC. BE SURE TO QUOTS FROM THE CATECHISM.
Dear Steve
I just read your article on the Epiphany. Yes Luke’s Gospel account of the Nativity is Mary’s recollection of events. I was looking up the ‘Black Madonna’ ‘Our Lady of Poland’ – St. Luke painted the portrait of Our Lady on a tabletop fashioned by Jesus in his carpenter days and while he was painting her, she recounted the whole story to him.
Hi Mr. Ray!
Love your Footprints videos and your writings. Praying for the opportunity to go on a pilgrimage with you someday too! Recently my son shared a new YouTube video that has become frighteningly popular, in fact the idea it perpetuates has become popular too. It is “I hate religion, I love Jesus”. It suggests that Jesus hates religion too, and came to abolish religion!!! I would give you the link but I don’t want to give these ideas any more publicity… I am sure you could find it in a search, I just don’t want to give it free advertising on your website. I know that much of what the young poet says is false and based on an improper personal interpretation of the Bible, however, I wondered if you had any writings on this whole idea. We are surrounded with a very strong Protestant base of folks in our small town in Central California and this idea my sons friends are latching onto seems very dangerous. Any books, pamphlets,CDs or writings you have or could recommend on this topic would be great! Thank you and God Bless you and your work!!
Quick question..
is the Hebrew root word for sheep pen the same as for the Holy of Holies?
I tried to analyze the two words in Hebrew and got nowhere.
Thank you.
