Catholic AnswerBelow is a link to the Catholic Encyclopedia article on Frederick Ozanam. Immediately following is an excerpt from that article that answers your question:

God gave me the grace to be born in the Faith. Later the confusion of an unbelieving world surrounded me. I knew all the Horror of the doubts that torment the soul. It was then that the instructions of a priest and philosopher (Abbé Noirot) saved me. I believed thenceforth with an assured faith, and touched by so rare a goodness. I promised God to devote my life to the services of the truth which had given me peace.
