On Deep in Christ, JonMarc Grodi looked at the importance of memory in the spiritual life.

In a new installment of On the Journey, Matt and Ken and Kenny shared their experience of how communion was distributed and received in their congregations compared with how it happens in The Mass.

This week’s episode of CHNetwork Presents featured a conversation with Rob Marco and Pat Flynn about how they sought discipline and detachment through secular means before discovering the Catholic concept of Lent.

On our latest Insights video, Alicia Baker shared her superficial understanding of Lent as a child, and how it gained a whole new meaning for her when she returned to the Church.

And in a new written story, Carolyn Labrie shared her powerful journey of learning to turn her sufferings over to the Lord on her way back into the Church.

A member struggling with Catholic teaching on life issues,  another member praying their interest in Catholicism doesn’t become a wedge in their marriage, and all our members who are preparing for the Rite of Election in the coming days – 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!
