  Mr. FOGLIETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to pay tribute to Rev. Msgr. 
Anthony E. Jaworowski, who is celebrating the 50th anniversary to his 
ordination to the priesthood.
  Monsignor Jaworowski was born in the Manayunk section of Philadelphia 
on April 18, 1917, the son of August and Kazimiera, Bongard, 
Jaworowski. Monsignor Jaworowski was first ordained on June 3, 1944, by 
Bishop Hugh Lamb at the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul in 
Philadelphia. Soon after that, he was appointed assistant pastor at St. 
Anthony's in Cumbola and went on to serve as assistant pastor in a 
number of parishes, including St. Hedwig's in Chester, St. Mary's in 
Coaldale, and St. Casimir in Shenandoah. In 1953, Monsignor Jaworowski 
moved forward into the position of regional director of the CYO in 
Schuylkill County. In 1957 he became a professor at St. Pious X High 
School in Pottstown. He next became pastor at Sacred Heart Church in 
Clifton Heights, PA, before finally settling at St. Adalbert Church in 
Philadelphia where he has served since his appointment on October 13, 
1972. On June 13, 1976, Reverend Jaworowski was conferred the title of 
monsignor at the Cathedral of Saints Peter and Paul.
  Now, as the monsignor reaches his 50th year of service to God and his 
parishioners, his congregation at St. Adalbert Church is celebrating 
with an anniversary mass and banquet on May 22. Mr. Speaker, I stand 
with the members of St. Adalbert's Church in congratulating Monsignor 
Jaworowski on his half century of service.
