You can't "fix" or "save" people. I'm sure you know that :]
But you can't give-up hope either and wanting to "help" someone is a wonderful trait. If only more people had the desire, passion and patience to do it. Like others have mentioned, continue to invite him to Church activities etc etc but don't be pushy about it. If he declines, he declines. And sometimes with the perseverance of a friend, people do change and not because they're forced to but because they want to. Sometimes our brothers and our sisters need a little nudge to find their way.
Oh and note, I emphasize on "friend"!
