When Kenny Burchard, who had been a Pentecostal pastor, was preparing to enter the Catholic Church, he knew he had to pick a Confirmation saint.
He had a particular saint in mind; but while praying in church one day, he had a strong sense of the presence of St. Joseph.
And as Kenny began to reflect on his experience of being adopted, and as the father of an adopted child, it began to make perfect sense to him that St. Joseph should be his patron saint.
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.
