A member pondering leaving their job as a pastor to become Catholic, another member whose interest in the Church has been damaging their work in ecumenical ministry, and all our members who have officially become Catholic over the past several weeks — 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!

“What, then? If there should be a dispute over some kind of question, ought we not to have recourse to the most ancient Churches in which the Apostles were familiar, and draw from them what is clear and certain in regard to that question? What if the Apostles had not in fact left writings to us? Would it not be necessary to follow the order of tradition, which was handed down to those to whom they entrusted the Churches?”
St. Irenaeus of Lyons
