                   IN HONOR OF MSGR. RICHARD A. YOUTZ

                                 ______


                          HON. GEORGE W. GEKAS

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, May 26, 1994

  Mr. GEKAS. Mr. Speaker, I want to add a few brief remarks to the many 
already expressed in honor of Msgr. Richard A. Youtz. By his service to 
community, Monsignor Youtz has earned the respect and admiration of 
many central Pennsylvanians.
  For 10 years, Monsignor Youtz has ably served the Harrisburg area as 
pastor of St. Patrick Cathedral. Under his leadership, St. Patrick's 
has increased its number of parishioners threefold, as well as financed 
major building improvements to the cathedral itself.
  However, perhaps Monsignor Youtz's most notable contribution has been 
his efforts through the St. Vincent de Paul Society to distribute food, 
clothing, and household items to the less fortunate of the Harrisburg 
area.
  I congratulate Monsignor Youtz on a lifetime of success and 
accomplishment. The Harrisburg community is profoundly richer because 
of his work.
