                    TRIBUTE TO ST. MICHAEL'S CHURCH

                                 ______


                        HON. NYDIA M. VELAZQUEZ

                               of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                       Thursday, October 19, 1995

  Ms. VELAZQUEZ. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to St. 
Michael's Church as it celebrates its 125th anniversary.
  Throughout its existence, St. Michael's Church has continuously 
demonstrated its commitment to its parishioners and its surrounding 
community. Under the stewardship of Father Michael Brennan and the 
distinguished leaders before him, the church has not only been a place 
of worship, but it has also been a place of comfort for the weary, a 
place of guidance for the lost, and a place of hope for those who 
despair. In essence, St. Michael's has been a center of inspiration for 
our community.
  Therefore, Mr. Speaker, I salute St. Michael's Church and Father 
Brennan on this momentous 125th anniversary and offer them my best 
wishes for the future.
