A member in RCIA weighing her love of the Eucharist and her discouragement at Church scandals, a couple trying to find a parish home that will nurture them toward becoming Catholic, and a member who was joyfully received into the Church over Thanksgiving weekend – these are just a few examples of the people we are praying for and working with this month at The Coming Home Network International. Please help us continue to support those on the journey by visiting chnetwork.org/donate today!
