A member who seems to keep hitting roadblocks on their journey, a new Catholic still trying to get their sea legs, and a couple seeking to get their marriage convalidated in the Church – these are just a few examples of the people we are praying for and working with at The Coming Home Network International. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!
