A member whose loved ones are afraid that her interest in Catholicism means she’s joining a cult, another member struggling to find employment, and a family worried that becoming Catholic will ruin many of their relationships – these are just a few examples of the people we are praying for and working with at The Coming Home Network International. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!

“But one of the soldiers pierced his side with a spear, and at once there came out blood and water. He who saw it has borne witness—his testimony is true, and he knows that he tells the truth—that you also may believe.”
John 19:34-35
