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 powerful conversation with Joe Ward about how his experience of being adopted influenced his journey from Calvinism to Catholicism.

On a new Deep in Christ short, JonMarc Grodi shared why it’s important to not get caught in the trap of thinking that conversion is just about learning more information about Catholicism.

Did you know that Buffalo Bill Cody and Nicholas Black Elk were both Catholic converts? Rakhi McCormick reflected on their time touring together in Cody’s Wild West show, and what led them to the Church.

And on the latest Insights, Kenny Burchard reflected on the purpose of praying Our Fathers and Hail Marys after going to Confession.

CONVERTS AND CONVERSION

Detroit Catholic shared the story of one of its high schools and how several students have become Catholic over the past few years.

The National Catholic Register interviewed Joe Jacobs about his journey from cynical punk rocker to Catholic praise music ministry.

Astronomer and convert Dr. Jonathan Lunine shared some reflections on the possibility of extraterrestrial life from a Catholic perspective.

And American Catholic historian Russell Shaw reflected more deeply on the conversion of St. John Henry Newman.

APOLOGETICS PICKS OF THE WEEK

Tsh Oxenreider shared a brief what, why and how of Advent, which starts a week from Sunday.

And in light of this weekend’s Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe, Gayle Somers reflected on what the Sunday Mass readings tell us about the kind of king that Jesus is.

A member wondering how to respond to questions about their interest in Catholicism over Thanksgiving, another member hoping their children will return to 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!
