February 29th Edition – Social Responsibility
CTN is very proud to introduce The Tablet Jr., the newest addition to the diocesan newspaper. The Tablet Jr. is a monthly four-page pullout for elementary school children. The articles and artwork you see are created by the students of diocesan academies, and each month there will be a new theme and a new academy.
