Tablet Talk Feb. 2

Thank You NYPD, From St. Sebastian

Father Kevin Abels, the pastor of St. Sebastian, Woodside, celebrated a Mass of Thanksgiving and invited the parish to breakfast at St. Sebastian Catholic Academy. This was an opportunity for the community to thank the police officers of NYPD 108th Precinct. It was a wonderful effort involving over a dozen volunteers and there was enough food for everyone.
