A Priest, a Van, and a Team: Lessons from Buffalo’s East Side

Steve welcomes Paul McCarthy, author of Don’t Lose Your Dignity, to share the story of Monsignor Leo McCarthy’s decades of coaching and quiet ministry in Buffalo. From a Depression era upbringing to building teams in the toughest neighborhoods, Father Leo used sports to teach discipline, respect, and a simple guiding rule: don’t lose your dignity, no matter what.

Note: This episode includes discussion of violence, murder, and allegations connected to the wider context of clergy abuse scandals.
