A member trying to decipher Catholic devotions, another member who’s decided they’re no longer interested in Catholicism, and all our members whose careers could be impacted by their interest in the Catholic faith – 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!
