The Ordinariate of the Chair of St. Peter is one of the many groups celebrating the pronouncement of St. John Henry Newman as a Doctor of the Church.
And Laura Bennett explained how she went from believing Catholicism was a cult to calling the Church her home.

Dr. Scott Hahn explained some of the parallels between the Virgin Mary and the Ark of the Covenant.

A member trying to understand the relationship between Scripture and tradition, another member who’s going back to college and hoping to find a strong Catholic community , and all our members who are getting ready to begin OCIA classes this Fall — 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!
