                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 26, 1994

  Mr. KANJORSKI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Monsignor 
Alexander Kulik, who on June 5, 1994, will celebrate his 40th year in 
the priesthood and service to the Roman Catholic Church.
  Monsignor Kulik was ordained in 1954, and after serving as assistant 
pastor in several different churches in the area, he began his duties 
as pastor of the Corpus Christi Church in Montdale in 1971. In 1977, 
Father Kulik assumed the pastoral duties of St. Mary's Church of the 
Maternity in Wilkes-Barre. A year later, he was elevated to the rank of 
Chaplain to His Holiness by Pope John Paul I, with the title of 
monsignor. In 1990, Father Kulik was made Prelate of Honor to His 
Holiness, Pope John Paul II.
  Monsignor Kulik has faithfully served in northeastern Pennsylvania 
for these many years. His list of affiliations over the years is 
endless. Currently, he serves on the board of pastors for Bishop Hoban 
Schools and is the chaplain of the Polish American Congress, and the 
General Pulaski Society, to name but a few.
  I am pleased to bring the long and successful career of Monsignor 
Alexander Kulik to the attention of my colleagues and to wish him well 
as he begins yet another decade of service to the church and to our 
community.
