Alfie, as he was known, entered the Novitiate of the Irish Christian Brothers on September 8th, 1948. However he suffered fainting attacks and it was decided that he should return to his family in Tullamore for a time to see if he could build up his strength. Alfie was heartbroken. However, one evening in 1950, his brother Jack invited him to a meeting of the Legion of Mary. Alfie never looked back, eventually offering his services to the headquarters (the ‘Concilium’) of the Legion of Mary. On 11th February 1953, the feast of Our Lady of Lourdes, Alfie received a letter from Concilium inviting him to work as a Legion envoy in South America. Although his mother would miss him dearly, Alfie accepted.
