Have you checked your Facebook account today? If you have a Facebook account, you're probably like the general population:
OR
Your prowl the corners of social media to find out what's going on with your friend and her new boyfriend without commenting, liking, or updating your own status so nobody will know you've been there (except Facebook Big Brother)
OR
There are other social networking avenues, but Facebook is a great place to find a community of like-minded people that you can connect with daily (or hourly). That community is found in Facebook Groups. For Catholics, Facebook groups can be a source of inspiration, bonding, and a forum to answer questions about parenting and spirituality. This list will give you a break-down of the Facebook Groups designed to support and nurture Catholic Women.
