I totally didn’t plan for the first anniversary of The Catholic Geeks to fall on Pentecost. Honest. It’s cooler if it started on Pentecost.

But yes, as of today, we are a year old. Our audience — all of you reading us, day after day — has grown larger than I’d expected. Our crazy little project has done more than I had thought we would, and I’ve enjoyed the emails, blog comments, and social media posts that have told us about how we’ve helped you, given you new perspective, introduced you to cool new fandoms and concepts, and helped you share your own favorites.

Like most one-year-olds, we’ve got a lot of growing ahead of us, but I’m happy with how things have gone and I’m looking forward to our second year.

Thank you for reading! (But I’m afraid the cake is still under construction.)
