National Catholic Review talks about Fr. Greg Boyle and Home Boy Joy Ride

“If you’re a gang member, you need eyes in the back of your head, because somebody’s always going to do you wrong,” Steinbroner told NCR. “You trust no one. Father Greg reestablishes them as children of God. He allows them to rediscover who they are. He’s like a mirror for reflecting back on who they could become.” Paul Steinbroner
