A member whose family has expressed objections to her desire to start RCIA, an inquirer trying to work up the nerve to contact his local Catholic parish, and a lapsed Catholic who’s just decided to go back to Mass – these are just a few examples of the people we are praying for and working with this month at The Coming Home Network International. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!
