A member who’s worried that the timing of her entry into the Church could cause conflict, an inquirer working up the nerve to contact a parish about RCIA, and all of our members who are interested in the Church, but whose spouses are not – 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!
