The latest from CHNetwork

This week’s episode of The Journey Home was an encore of our conversation with Dr. Jonathan Fuqua, a Pentecostal whose study of philosophy led him to the Catholic Faith.

In a featured article, Jim Anderson marked the June 1st feast of St. Justin Martyr by exploring what he shows us about early Christian worship and theology.

And on a new Insights, former Pentecostal Army chaplain Everett Franklin shared the Eucharistic encounter that led him to consider the Catholic Faith.

CONVERTS AND CONVERSION

Aleteia looked at the spiritual awakening of an Iraq War veteran and his path to the priesthood.

The National Catholic Register reflected on how the witness of Bl. Carlo Acutis led to the conversion of his Hindu caretaker.

Joseph Pearce reflected on the conversion of poet Roy Campbell.

And this week marked the 150th birthday of Catholic convert GK Chesterton.

APOLOGETICS PICKS OF THE WEEK

Cerith Gardener looked at 5 different patron saints for 5 different kinds of headaches.

A member wondering if this is the year she should start OCIA,  another member who’s thinking about going back to graduate school now that they’ve become Catholic, and all our members who just entered the Church at Pentecost — these are just a few of the people we are praying for and working with at The Coming Home Network. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!

“We used to hate and destroy one another and refused to associate with people of another race or country. Now, because of Christ, we live together with such people and pray for our enemies.”

St. Justin Martyr
