Marcus Grodi and his wife Marilyn were both “cradle Protestants.”  Marcus received his BS degree from Case Institute of Technology in Polymer Engineering and worked for six years as an engineer.  During this time he was involved in a variety of Protestant youth and music ministries.  He then received his Master of Divinity Degree from Gordon-Conwell Theological Seminary and was ordained to the Protestant pastoral ministry.  During more than fifteen years of youth, young adult and pastoral ministry, his main emphasis was church and lay spiritual renewal. 
Marcus, his wife Marilyn, and their sons, Jon Marc (20) and Peter (16) were received into the Catholic Church on December 20, 1992.  Their third son, Richard (12) entered through baptism.
Marcus now serves as the President/Executive Director of The Coming Home Network International, a non-profit Catholic lay apostolate aimed at helping our separated brethren, both clergy and laity, come home to the Catholic Church. He also hosts a weekly live television program on EWTN called The Journey Home, and is the author / editor of the book Journeys Home. Marilyn focuses much of her time on home schooling their three sons.  The whole family works together in developing their ten acre homestead.
