The latest from CHNetwork
After the excitement of Easter, the Church was met this week with the news of the passing of Pope Francis. CHNetwork’s JonMarc Grodi released a short statement calling our CHNetwork family to pray for the Holy Father and the Church at this time.
This week’s episode of The Journey Home was an encore of our great conversation with former Episcopal priest Andrew Petiprin about his path to the Catholic Faith.
We shared a video from JonMarc Grodi inviting this year’s newly confirmed Catholics to join the Coming Home Network… if you know any converts who could use support in this new phase of their journey, please let them know about all the free resources and opportunities we have for them!
We released an article by Matt Swaim looking at the stories of converts whose journeys were influenced by watching the Church transition between popes.
On a new Insights, Debbie Capen shared how a powerful experience on Divine Mercy Sunday helped her better understand the gift of God’s forgiveness.
And our Clergy Convert Conference only has a couple of slots left! Please let us know if you’re interested in attending.

CONVERTS AND CONVERSION
One of this year’s new Catholics is descended from one of the Martyrs of Korea, and was able to choose her own relative as her confirmation saint.
A mother and son shared their experience of entering the Church together at the Easter Vigil in the Archdiocese of Detroit.
And Nikki Haley’s son was received into the Catholic Church by former Journey Home guest Fr. Jeffrey Kirby.
APOLOGETICS PICKS OF THE WEEK

A member getting lots of questions about their newfound Catholic Faith, another member weighing a combination of excitement and nervousness about their new Catholic life, and all our members who just joined the Church and are now mourning the pope as new Catholics — 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!

Happy Easter and Welcome Home!
