A member whose spouse is opposed to their interest in Catholicism, another member who is struggling to understand the divinity of Jesus, and all our members approaching Advent for the first time — 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!
