The latest from CHNetwork
This week’s episode of The Journey Home was a fantastic conversation with Ashley Stinnett, an actor who bounced around churches growing up, but found a home in the Catholic Church when COVID hit.
In a new On the Journey, Matt, Ken, and Kenny concluded their series on Sola Scriptura by talking about what finally convinced them to leave Sola Scriptura behind.
We shared an article with excerpts from several of our CHNetwork members about how they picked their Confirmation saints, or in a couple of cases, how their Confirmation saints picked them!
And on a new Insights, Fr. Ken Geraci shared what it was like to return to Confession as a young man — he didn’t even know how to pray the Our Father!
And our Clergy Convert Conference is almost full! Please let us know if you’re interested in attending.
