What People Have said About Steve’s Talks

“Words like dynamic, compelling, inspiring and insightful all come to mind when I think of describing Steve’s presentations. I say presentations, because they are more than just “talks”; he puts his whole heart into them. They not only provide intellectual information, they call you to a deeper and more profound understanding of Christ and His Church.”

Dear Steve,Thank you so very much for a wonderful presentation at the Orlando chapter meeting. You are so very enlightened with the Spirit it overflows to all who are listening to you speaking. Cradle Catholics seem to lack the fire of you converts, but you sure did light a fire under all of us. Austin and I are looking forward to spending time with you on the October trip.Sincerely,
Carole Caruso

Legatus Speaking - Thank you

Call to Holiness Letter Dear Steve,You were in a fervid spirit and gave a most convincing talk for our Call to Holiness Benefit Dinner. You were just the very thing needed to stir up a deeper appreciation of the precious truths of our faith and of the greatness of the Catholic Church. Too many of us do not realize the gift we have been given. You presentation helped us to wonder again about God’s beneficence. Many commented on the effectiveness of your words. I hope that the good God will continue to give you that holy zeal for His cause while keeping you humble in His service.Fr. Eduard Perrone
Founder, Call to Holiness
