I had test almost 3weeks ago. I haven’t received anything . I need to know the result.
Outrageous, The Catholic Church’s response during this crisis has been disgraceful, No reason for St Sebastians to have been closed for prayer, Now it is being used for a testing Centre , It is criminal, Fr Kevin should resign or just keep hiding out in his so called summer home, He has let down his congregation BIGTIME .
Claire I totally agree with your comments . So many other venues for testing why St. Sebastian Church Who do we blame this on Fr Kevin he had to Ok this .
I dont feel the Church is the place to do testing. I dont think I will ever attend mass ever again there .
Shame on Fr Kevin
The building originated as Loew’s Woodside, a movie palace that fell victim to the arrival of home TV and was sold to the church. Some of the original décor is still evident in the chapel.
Testing center does not belong in a church period.
