This week's board of the week comes one day late for the Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, but it's really never too late to celebrate such an amazing saint! Uniquely Franciscan, a board by Franciscan Media, uses the following description on this special pinboard: "The Franciscan order is steeped in rich, abiding tradition. Eight hundred years ago the founder, St. Francis of Assisi, profoundly changed the world with his message of peace, his concern for the poor, and his love for all creation." If you have a devotion to St. Francis or wish to learn more about Franciscan spirituality, this is a terrific board to follow.

And here’s this week’s tip of the week from Allison Girone of the Catholic Pinterest Group Board who has kindly agreed to offer a weekly pointer for us on how to use some best practices to enjoy and effectively employ Pinterest:

If you are really interested in the possibilities with Pinterest, there's a Pinterest Twitter chat called #PinChat, seehttp://www.dailydot.com/entertainment/kelly-lieberman-pinterest-pinchat/ where you'll read that it " attracts more than a hundred attendees each Friday night at 10 p.m. ET.

If you’re a Catholic using Pinterest, please drop a link in the comments below to share your boards. Also, I’d love to hear about why you love Pinterest and how you think this latest craze might be used to spread the Good News.
