This is a huge weekend for our members at The Coming Home Network International! Many of them are preparing to be received into the Church at the Easter Vigil, and some of them have been building up to this moment for years. Helping these men and women, clergy and laity, find their home in the Catholic Church is the very reason our apostolate was founded nearly 30 years ago. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!
