A member on the journey who is having second thoughts about all of it, another member trying to understand Catholic teaching on redemptive suffering, and all our members celebrating the anniversary of entering the Church at Pentecost last year – 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!
