Rae-Mi LeRoy studied Buddhism in college, and was fascinated by it. She went on to work in Hollywood, and after becoming disillusioned with that world, decided to move to the Arizona desert to embark on a journey of self-discovery using Buddhist principles.

Little did she know that her journey would lead her to the doorstep of the Catholic Church; and that there were not only many saints who had gone out to the desert to pray and fast, but that this was also something that was a significant part of Jesus' own story.

The Coming Home Network was established to help inquiring clergy and laity of various faiths -- or even no faith at all -- with fellowship, resources, and encouragement as they explore the possibility of becoming Catholic.
