On Friday, November 20th, The Woodhaven Residents' Block Association was happy to honor St. Thomas the Apostle R.C. Church which is embarking on a year-long celebration of its' 100th Anniversary. The awards were handed out at the WRBA's Annual Dinner Dance, at Villa Russo -- and accepting the honor for STA was its' new pastor, the Reverend Frank C. Tumino. From the souvenir journal handed out at the Dinner Dance:
Presenting the award to Rev. Tumino, was a familiar face to Project Woodhaven readers, our good friend Joe Virgona. Joe gave the room a quick history of St. Thomas the Apostle.
Joining Joe to present the award, was the WRBA's Roger Hennin.
