Oops!

‘Drugs’ found at NY seminary actually priceless relics of Brooklyn’s Saint Raphael

NY Post: “Drug-sniffing dogs swarmed St. Vladimir’s Orthodox Theological Seminary last week when cops were alerted to possible illegal narcotics that had spilled out of their special container on the scenic, tree-covered campus,  WABC reported.”

It turns out it was a seminarian who took the relics for smack, instead of the American saint, St Raphael, who died in Brooklyn in 1915. The poor fellow will likely have a tough time living living this down among his fellow seminarians. Still, there was no harm done and Father Michael Nasser used the occasion to do a good deed.

“We got to meet the K-9 units who came out here for a special prayer and blessing and allowed us to thank them for all they do for us at the seminary and the whole community,” Nasser told WABC.

All dog lovers should heartily approve of Fr Nasser’s worthy act.
