A member whose interest in Catholicism could cost her husband his job, another member whose health problems have caused them to suspend their research of Catholic questions, and a new convert feeling lonely in their own parish – 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!
