i personally know father Greg and i think is wonderful what he is doing he is giving them hope & a chance at a better life by helping them with education and jobs my brother was one of the first teenagers that he had to buerie, but i am tankfull for trying to help the only brother that i have left & no matter what anyone else says untill they have lived throught it they shouldnt talk. i dont see them out there trying to help out GOD BLESS FATHER GREG.

im assuming no one ever gave you a second chance?

For every job that goes to an ex-convict is one stolen away from decent Americans who have never committed a serious crime.

These people are the underbelly of society, why are we going to give them a second chance? Nobody would cheer if these were pedophiles instead of murderers.
