This week marks the final installment of Top Catholic Tweets here at my blog. It is moving over to its rightful “home” with its author John Clem now serving as its host. It’s been an amazing opportunity to share this feature with you each week and to see firsthand the news of the world and our Church from a “tweeted” perspective. It’s proven to me time and time again the value of Twitter and the impact each of us can have when we employ social media tools to share the Good News. Keep tweeting friends! And see you next week at John’s Call to Holiness blog.

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