We had a GREAT Spring CHNetwork Retreat in Columbus OH! Please pray for all the retreatants as they return home to their loved ones. If you’d like more information about upcoming CHNetwork Retreat opportunities, visit chnetwork.org/retreats!
This week’s Journey Home episode was with Keith Albert Little, a nondenominational Christian from Canada’s United Church who became a Catholic.
We posted a short video from Jeff Cavins explaining how the Church Fathers helped open his heart to Catholicism.
CHNetwork’s very own Br. Rex Anthony Norris was profiled by Catholic News Agency in a piece exploring what life looks like for a modern-day hermit.
We made available Matt D’Antuono’s written conversion story in online form, wherein he journey from teaching at a private Christian school to entering the Catholic Church.
And Charles Hoffman continued his article series on Scripture and Tradition, this time looking at the very nature and meaning of authority.

A member who’s just started telling her loved ones about her interest in the Catholic faith, another member who dropped out of RCIA this year but is still curious about the Church, and all the new Easter converts struggling to make friends in her parish – these are just a few examples of the people we are praying for this month at The Coming Home Network International. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!
