An inquirer who’s interested in the Church but increasingly mistrustful of Her clergy, a convert who because of the scandals is considering sedevacantism, and a former pastor looking for employment that will line up with his gifts and calling – 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!
