GARY SINISE talks about his conversion and his passion for aiding wounded vets . . . Gary Sinise had one foot in the Catholic Church more than 15 years before he signed up for RCIA. Even though he was raised in an unchurched Chicago- area family, Sinise wore his brother-in-law’s rosary around his neck while filming his role as Lt. Dan Taylor in Forrest Gump.

BRET BAIER of Fox News is one of the highlighted speakers at the 2015 Summit . . . If there’s one reason Bret Baier delivers a “fair and balanced” newscast, it certainly has to do with his Catholic faith. Growing up in Atlanta, he gravitated toward two loves: golf and journalism. Golf didn’t pay the bills, so he pursued television news. And when his son Paul was diagnosed with congenital heart defects just hours after being born, the Fox News Channel’s Special Report host says prayer got him through. He tells the story in his book Special Heart: A Journey of Faith, Hope, Courage and Love. He spoke with Patrick Novecosky, Legatus magazine’s editor-in- chief.
