The latest from CHNetwork

This week’s episode of The Journey Home was a great conversation with Taylor Kemp, a pro soccer player whose rediscovery of faith helped him learn to prioritize his life in a way that honored God and brought him joy.

We shared an article explaining the O Antiphons, which started this week on December 17th and end on December 23rd.

And on the latest Insights, Phillip Seeberg, a convert from Judaism, shared what it was like to celebrate his first Christmas as a believing Christian.

CONVERTS AND CONVERSION

Aleteia shared the story of how French poet Paul Claudel became a Catholic on Christmas Day.

And Notre Dame will be led into the College Football Playoff by head coach Marcus Freeman, who converted to Catholicism a few years ago.

APOLOGETICS PICKS OF THE WEEK

uCatholic explained why the pelican is an ancient symbol of Christ.

And Mike Aquilina looked at what St. Cyril of Jerusalem had to say about the birth of Jesus.

A member wondering how they’ll manage prioritizing going to Mass while visiting family over the holidays, another member with no Christian background celebrating their first Christmas as a believer, and all our members who are struggling with health issues while making their way toward the Church — 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!

“If the princes and rulers of this world are privileged to make merry over the sons of their flesh, what a mountain of reasons we have for exulting over the birth of Jesus Christ, the Son of God, our Savior!”

St. Peter Canisius

Feast Day: December 21st
