	Coming Home Network Conference!
	The Children of Mary attended theComing Home Network Conference at the Hilton in October. It was a great conference. We put up the Vatican International Exhibit of Eucharistic Miracles and prepared the adoration chapel. Many came to adore Our Lord during the conference. The chapel was beautiful, with soft sacred music playing, the smell of incense, and most important, Our Eucharistic King was enthroned and overjoyed with so many of His People coming to return love for Love!
