He challenged us to be continually aware of those around us in our workplaces, recreation and neighbourhoods who could be searching for God and the fullness of faith within the Catholic tradition.

The many examples Fr Alan gave of those who had contacted the centre requesting the booklets and then joined the Catholic Church were particularly inspiring.
