Notes
The three columns should a max-width for the items so that the word breaks to the next line. "Children" in "Protecting God's Children" should be on the next line.

Should we leave this one as wait, archive it, or move it so KS can go ahead and do it?

I forgot what the issue was here, but I would think that we can move it unless there is a big reason why we couldn't do this. I don't remember though.

I strongly advise against using this style layout for footers, unless we hard-code the links and content. This requires a lot of relatively superfluous code (PHP & CSS), and it requires a high level of discipline from our clients to keep the layout from breaking.

Trying to incorporate certain line breaks on top of this may work on some viewport widths, but it will increase the amount of labor required for responsive design coding and will—more likely than not—lead to the kind of weird line breaks that regularly come up on Elizabeth Ann Seton (Lake Ridge, VA) or—worse yet—this could break the layout entirely.

If directed to do so, I'll add a max-width attribute here, but in my humble opinion, the marginal benefit of doing this is substantially outweighed by the substantial probability that this will break the layout.

After messing around with it for a bit, there doesn't seem to be a consistent and practical way to have it consistently go to two lines, when the proof calls for it and there are times where it will go to four columns, so, for now, I say we forget about it/archive it.

Thank you!
