                        Wednesday, May 11, 1994

  Mr. FOGLIETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise on this occasion to congratulate 
St. Aloysius Roman Catholic Church of Philadelphia, as it celebrates 
its 100th anniversary on May 14, 1994. Founded in the spring of 1894, 
under the leadership of Father William Wachter, St. Aloysius stands 
today as an example of the enduring faith of its parishioners.
  An integral part of life in the Grays Ferry community, St. Aloysius 
strives to further excellence and fellowship through its parochial 
school, parish council and its local chapter of the Catholic Youth 
Organization. Under the guidance of Father Bernard Benischek, St. 
Aloysius serves as an historic example of charity and strength to its 
members and its community.
  I am pleased to join with the parish and friends of St. Aloysius 
Roman Catholic Church in celebrating 100 years of faith and conviction. 
The present and past leaders of this noble institution can be proud of 
their accomplishments.
