It was 1990 and I was studying for my university exams when I received a phone call from a mysterious benefactor.
“I’d like to help you,” the caller explained. “Come to my flat in London. I have a car and some money for you.”
Two years before, I had experienced a powerful conversion at Medjugorje. The parish priest there, Fr Slavko Barbaric and Ernest Williams (who became the founder of Youth 2000) had been instrumental in my conversion. This prompted me to invite Fr Slavko to the UK in order to talk to young people and publicise the first forthcoming Youth 2000 festival in Medjugorje.
