"Recessional" is no longer favored, but the more liturgically correct "Procession Into The World" just won't work with this meme. Anyway, I'm sure you get the idea and hopefully appreciate the humor. Remember the time change!

Last week, I was proud to join the Suffolk County Department of Fire Rescue and Emergency Services (FRES) to donate an AED and NARCAN kits to St. Andrew’s Church in Mastic Beach.

This important initiative by FRES helps ensure that our local houses of worship are equipped with life-saving tools that can make a real difference during an emergency. AEDs are critical in responding to sudden cardiac events, where every second counts.

Thank you to FRES and Commissioner Rudy Sunderman for leading this impactful program and for their continued commitment to protecting the health and safety of our community.
