                        HON. PETER J. VISCLOSKY

                        Wednesday, June 8, 1994

  Mr. VISCLOSKY. Mr. Speaker, it is my distinct honor to commend Sister 
Marlene Ardelean of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ, for her 60-year 
commitment to education and religious life.
  Sister Marlene was honored during the annual Sisters' Jubilee Mass, 
held on April 25, 1994, at St. Peter and Paul in Merrillville, IN. She 
was named a Diamond Jubilarian for her lifetime of service to the 
Church of God. Sister Marlene entered the convent in 1932, and 
professed first vows in 1934. She attended Ancilla Domini College in 
Donaldson, IN, and received her bachelor's and master's degrees in 
education from Loyloa University in Chicago.
  Sister Marlene spent most of her teaching career in the Gary Diocese, 
including more than 25 years at St. Mark School in Gary, IN. She has 
also taught at St. Ann school in Gary, IN, and St. Catherine of Siena 
School and Our Lady of Perpetual Help School, both in Hammond, IN. 
Sister Marlene retired last fall, and she currently ministers as a 
tutor for students in kindergarten through the eighth grade.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask you and my colleagues to join me in honoring 
Sister Marlene Ardelean for her divine service to God and for her 
ongoing commitment to education.
