Just 1 favor today if we have helped you... Okay, I really don't love feeling like a beggar, but here goes. We're 15 followers away from 1,000 on Instagram!
Why does that number matter? I promise it has nothing to do with vanity metrics. Once we hit 1,000, Instagram unlocks "Trial Reels," which means our videos (and more importantly, the message behind them) get shown to people who don't follow us yet.
So... would you mind following us over there? @CatholicCounselingInstitute
And if you already follow us, could you share one of our posts or reels? Instagram counts shares more heavily than likes, so even one share helps.
St. Francis, my patron, begged for bread. I'm begging for follows. Both for the mission of Our Lord!
Thank you!
