A member struggling with scandals in Church history through the present day, another member who is wrestling with Catholic moral teachings, and all our members who are just starting OCIA classes — 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!
