With so many challenges in the world today-- student loan rates, turmoil in Egypt and in Syria, and jobs at home--I think it's important for us to remind ourselves of the resilience of our faiths. Recently, in New York, I joined Monsignor Brendan Riordan and the congregation of the St. Aloysius Church in Great Neck to celebrate their centennial jubilee. St. Aloysius was established in 1876. In 1913, ground was broken for the beautiful church that stands today. It stands today with 1,200 families, worshiping in English, in Spanish, and in Korean, with food banks and immigration counseling and human services and interfaith partnerships. I am privileged to represent St. Aloysius Church in Great Neck, Mr. Speaker, and I am especially privileged to talk about it on the floor of this Congress today. ____________________
