The latest from CHNetwork

Are you leading OCIA classes this year? We have free resources to assist you along the way!

This week’s episode of The Journey Home was a great conversation with Megan Thomas, who shared her path from Southern Baptist roots to the Catholic Church.

On the latest Deep in Christ, JonMarc Grodi talked about why Friday fasting and penance are part of the devotional tradition of the Church.

We shared a new episode of On the Journey, in which Matt, Ken and Kenny wondered what their lives might be like if they hadn’t become Catholic.

And on a new CHNetwork Presents, Matt Swaim was joined by Karlo Broussard from Catholic Answers to discuss questions that converts sometimes have about Purgatory.

CONVERTS AND CONVERSION

Zenit explored the story of Sr. Clare Crockett, an actress turned nun, whose cause for sainthood is being considered.

Ashley Stevens shared how her conversion to Catholicism was personally influenced by Servant of God Michelle Duppong.

In Catholic World Report, Russell Shaw shared his own personal reflections on the conversion of St. John Henry Newman.

And Fr. Raymond de Souza reflected on the 25th anniversary of the 1999 Joint Declaration on Justification between Catholics and Lutherans.

APOLOGETICS PICKS OF THE WEEK

Earlier this week, Joe Heschmeyer and Fr. Sebastian Walshe were part of an open forum for non-Catholics on Catholic Answers Live.

And Clement Harrold shared 10 things to know about the Prophet Isaiah.

A member who feels they can’t go back to Protestantism but can’t yet move forward into Catholicism, another member working up the courage to tell loved ones about their interest in the Catholic Faith, and all our members who are learning new things and making new friends in OCIA — 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!

“During painful times, when you feel a terrible void, think how the capacity of your soul is being enlarged so that it can receive God- becoming as it were, infinite as God is infinite.”
