"Tarek had a great message for all young adults and we hope these adults will be inspired to make a difference in their lives and others, just as Tarek did. The whole idea of these lectures is to stimulate people to take action for the faith and the Church. I know I was inspired by Tarek and many others have expressed the same saying he is the best speaker they have ever seen live. Thank you again for coming to speak to us." - Mario, CSPYA New York
