For you Facebookers outhere, Habemus Papem sent this in: "As part of the Vatican's World Communications Day, the organization launched an app called "The Pope meets you on Facebook." Strictly speaking the Pope doesn't have a typical Facebook profile, and hence you can't poke him, or invite him to play Pirates vs Ninjas. But you can choose to send one of a number of "virtual postcards" with messages from the Pope and associated photos to one of your Facebook friends." Read more here.

I nominate Sebastian as "Best Rectory Dog," for faithfully serving the parish with his warmly-wagging welcome or his warning woof, as needed.
