St. John the Baptist Catholic Church

There are many ways to enter the Catholic faith, many avenues to His kingdom.

Soham More, a CEO of a Bay Area health care small business, has used a road to Emmaus that is much-less traveled than the norm to reach his journey to Jesus and full entry into the Catholic Church.

“Everybody is different.
