A new Catholic seeking to maintain healthy relationship with friends from their Protestant Bible study, several members whose health issues have impeded their desire to become Catholic, and all our members who are preparing to be received into the Church at next weekend’s Easter Vigil – these are just a few examples of the people we are praying for and working with at The Coming Home Network International.
