Alfie had a special gift to get people to do things they thought they were incapable of achieving. He worked with rich and poor, young and old. He always asked and expected great things from people. When starting a new Praesidium he would ask them where was the most difficult area in the parish. Who was the most difficult and impossible case. Then he would tell them now you will see how Mary will use you.
