Fr. Alexis Doucet is at the service of the Turkish-speaking Christian community in Ankara. In spite of the Covid which has strongly affected the level of religious practice of many of the Christians in the region, he continues to receive "masked" many curious people and he spends a certain amount of time responding to the many messages he receives via social networks.

For the last 8 months, the elderly and frail people have stopped coming to church, only the young and the most "motivated" have been coming. Masses with an audience were interrupted in the spring. They have since resumed, as has the Christian formation of pre-catechumens and catechumens, which is partly done by skype or zoom. He recounts that in September he celebrated two funerals connected with Covid, which were held directly at the cemetery without assistance, and that it was particularly sad, reflecting the general situation in the world.

On the other hand, Father Doucet spends his time writing, first of all the Miras, a Turkish Christian spirituality magazine. Miras is a collaboration. The Society supports the magazine financially, thanks to those who give to the Society. He writes articles on subjects as varied as happiness, healing, persecutions, prayer, spiritual warfare, Christmas... He discovers the joys and sorrows of working with the Turks but also with the evangelical Protestant world. He is currently finishing the rewriting in Turkish of Tom Michel's book "Introduction to Christendom". He is also preparing a small book in Turkish on Christian mysticism. Remarkably, he is very active on the internet to offer quality Christian "content" in Turkish (Wikipedia, Daily Gopel in its Turkish version...).
