Top Catholic Tweets for New Year 2016

January 1, 2016 by John Clem Leave a Comment

christian-happy-new-year-2016-images

There have been many stories to share from the past week, and have special sections for the Jubilee of Mercy, Year of Consecrated Life, and Care for Creation.  There are many things to pray for in this coming year which I hope will bring healing and mercy to a troubled world.

Happy New Year and may you have a blessed 2016!

Pax Et Bonum,

John
