The CHNetwork Weekly Roundup #490

January 2, 2026 Blog, CHNetwork Weekly Roundup

Got a question about the Catholic Faith, or need assistance on your journey? Consider joining our Online Community, or feel free to contact us for support. The Coming Home Network exists to help converts, “reverts,” those on the journey, and those who are just curious – we’d love to hear from you!

The latest from CHNetwork

This week’s episode of The Journey Home was an encore of our conversation with former Episcopal priest James Anderson about his path to the Catholic Church.

We also shared the Top 10 Journey Home episodes, the Top 10 online videos and podcasts, and the Top 10 written stories and articles of 2025.

And converts and those on the journey toward the Church are invited to consider attending our next CHNetwork retreat this Spring in Nebraska. More information can be found at chnetwork.org/retreats.

CONVERTS AND CONVERSION

Pope Leo XIV encouraged us all to convert our hearts and cultivate hope in the New Year.

And January 4th marks the feast of St. Elizabeth Ann Seton, a convert from an Episcopalian background and one of the first American saints.

APOLOGETICS PICKS OF THE WEEK

Fr. Raymond de Souza looked at how the Hail Mary became synonymous with desperation plays in football.

Daniel Payne reflected on some of the notable Catholics who passed away in 2025.

Catholic News Agency reflected on some of the most important moments for the Church in the past year.

And J.J. Ziegler looked back on the new saints recognized by the Church in 2025.

A member seeking to heal relationships with non-Catholic family this season, another member whose health difficulties are making it difficult for them to attend OCIA classes, and all our members who are celebrating their first Christmas as 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!

“I will go peaceably and firmly to the Catholic Church: for if Faith is so important to our salvation, I will seek it where true Faith first began, seek it among those who received it from God Himself.”

St. Elizabeth Ann Seton
