A member who’s begun to rethink their Protestant understanding of Baptism, another member who’s struggling to feel at home in their parish since becoming Catholic at Easter, and all our members who just started OCIA classes — 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!
