A member whose spouse is starting to be more open to discussing Catholicism, another member discouraged at the lack of fellowship in their parish, and all our members who are starting 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!
