Journey Home

Jeff’s family was Episcopalian, but early in his childhood, his mom started taking him to a Pentecostal church, which caused a lot of confusion for him over the years. Seeking some spiritual stability, he later began to explore the Lutheran church, but that opened new doors for him of history, liturgy and sacramentality, and eventually led him home to the Catholic Faith

Ken Oliver-Mendez came from a Presbyterian background, attending both Cedarville College and Covenant College. His experience of faith formation and journalism gave him a broad view of the many different expressions of Christianity, but in the midst of all of them, he realized that his true spiritual home was in the Catholic Church. He currently brings his faith and his professional experience together in the world of Catholic journalism as editor-in-chief of Catholic News Agency.

When a friend said he was becoming Catholic, Chris began to explore this foreign Christianity and fell in love with the Church, fully entering with his wife at Easter Vigil 2021.

After 34 years as an Evangelical pastor, Gerard began to dig deeper into issues dividing Protestants and Catholics, realizing it was time to return to the Faith of his childhood.

Terry and Renee grew up in the Assemblies of God, and avoided some anti-Catholic prejudices because of the Catholics they met in charismatic ecumenical gatherings. Terry went into medicine, and in his 40’s, he and his wife felt a call to become overseas medical missionaries. After years of service, Renee’s illness led them to have to come back to the states, where Terry began working in a Catholic hospital. The relationships they developed through that experience helped lead them slowly and surely into the Catholic Church.
