May 2023 Edition - Leaders in Faith
The articles and artwork of each Tablet Jr. are created by the students of the diocesan academies, and each month there is a new theme and a new academy. Our Lady of the Blessed Sacrament Catholic Academy, Bayside, Queens is this month's school to showcase its journalistic skills.
