A member hoping their spouse will share their interest in the Catholic Church, several of our members whose struggles with illness are making it difficult to pursue their interest in Catholicism, and all our members who are preparing to enter RCIA this Fall – 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/COMPASS today!
