                         Tuesday, May 24, 1994

  Mr. LIPINSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Sister Rosanne 
Klimasz, currently the Superior of the Felician Sisters Generalate in 
Rome, Italy, on her 50th annniversary as a Felician Sister.
  Sister Rosanne was born in the Back of the Yards community on the 
South Side of Chicago and attended Sacred Heart Elementary School and 
Good Counsel High School in Chicago. Sister Rosanne has spent many 
years teaching at Holy Innocents and St. John of God Schools in Chicago 
and Holy Cross School in Joliet, IL. She has also contributed her 
services to the health care of thousands of people at St. Joseph 
Hospital in Milwaukee, WI, Rosary Hospital in Corning, IA, Our Lady of 
Angels Hospital in Okarche, OK as well as Memorial Hospital in 
Yorktown, TX. Sister Rosanne has also served her family of Felician 
Sisters at the Felician Sisters Provincialate in Rio Rancho, NM and at 
the Felician Sisters Generalate in Rome, Italy.
  Sister Rosanne has developed lasting relationships which have brought 
immeasurable benefits to the people of each community in which she was 
assigned. She has lovingly served her own family and the family of 
Felician Sisters by bringing spirit, joy and goodwill to them and to 
all the lives she has touched. I am proud that Sister Rosanne can call 
the Chicagoland community home.
  Mr. Speaker, I am pleased to recognize Sister Rosanne Klimasz for 
dedicating herself to the welfare of others and the betterment of our 
community. As she celebrates her 50th anniversary as a Felician Sister 
at a special Mass of Thanksgiving on Sunday, May 29, 1994, I urge my 
colleagues to join me in wishing her the best in the years to come.
