With Thanksgiving Day approaching, The Catholic Telegraph invited its followers on Facebook and Twitter to share what they’re thankful for using the hashtag #GratefulCatholicCincy.
As soon as the invitation went out on Wednesday morning, the official Twitter account of the Archdiocese of Cincinnati (@CatholicCincy) began sharing statements previously made by Archbishop Emeritus Daniel E. Pilarczyk.
Stewardship is the practice of calling people to gratitude in action, to the practice of doing thanks. +Pilarczyk #GratefulCatholicCincy
