Tony's Story

Tony’s father was a gang member.  As a child, Tony was involved in illegal activities just by spending time with his dad.  By his early teens, he was hooked on drugs.  One day, Tony was critically injured in a car accident.  With tears running down his cheeks, he told Sister Tricia how the accident was a turning point in his life.  After recovering, he told his father that he wanted to leave the gang and build a new life for himself, free from drugs and crime.  But the code of gang life would not allow his father to let him go easily.  To get out, his father said, he’d have to take a beating first.  Knowing the ways of gang life, Tony agreed.
