“Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor and thank Father Kurt Gerhard of Washington, DC, for serving as the guest chaplain today for the House of Representatives. In April of this year, Father Gerhard was installed as the eighth rector of St. Patrick's Episcopal Church, which is located in northwest Washington, DC, on Whitehaven Parkway. He recently relocated from my home State of Texas, where he served as senior chaplain at St. Andrew's Episcopal School and in the clergy at Good Shepherd Episcopal Church, both located in Austin, Texas. Father Gerhard is a native of Nebraska, where he earned a degree from the University of Nebraska at Omaha. He went on to earn a Master of Divinity from the Seminary of the Southwest and a Doctor of Ministry from the Virginia Theological Seminary. On behalf of every Member of the House of Representatives of the United States Congress, I want to thank Father Gerhard for his work on behalf of our community here in Washington, DC, and for his invocation before our House here today. ____________________”
