The latest from CHNetwork
Are you leading OCIA classes this year? We have free resources to assist you along the way!
This week’s episode of The Journey Home was a great discussion with Eduardo Faria, who served as a Presbyterian pastor in Brazil before coming home to the Catholic Church.
We shared an On the Journey short describing how the Church looks at Divine Revelation as being handed down.
This week’s featured written story is from Dr. Ronda Chervin, whose journey led her from Judaism through communism and atheism to the Catholic Church.
And on the latest Insights, Fr. Jerry Byrd shared the story of how his mom chose life, and how that has helped him better understand his vocation.

CONVERTS AND CONVERSION
Catholic News Agency interviewed retired NBA player Gordon Hayward about his recent entry into the Catholic Church.
A Spanish social media influencer has written a new book detailing her conversion and her family’s connection to a saint.
And in a different sort of “conversion story,” the National Catholic Register reflected on how the Crystal Cathedral was renovated to become a Catholic Church.
APOLOGETICS PICKS OF THE WEEK
Paul Senz explained why repeating a prayer doesn’t necessarily make that repetition “vain.”
And a Catholic priest has managed to celebrate Mass at over 50 peaks of the Rocky Mountains in Colorado.

A member who’s wondering how to incorporate Catholic devotions into their family life, another member struggling with bad behavior by Catholics in Church history, and all our members who are learning new things and making new friends in OCIA — 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!
