This week’s news comes on the heals of a very busy week for me and for our Church. I’ll be back in the next few days with posts on my experience as Lino Rulli’s co-host, my time at the Archdiocese of Los Angeles Religious Education Congress and much more. But until then, take some time to get caught up on all of the highlights of the past week…

I’m grateful to my friend John Clem, O.F.S. for this week’s Top Catholic Tweets:
