  Mr. COYNE. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to Father Paul R. 
Staud, the parochial vicar at Saint Malachy Parish in Coraopolis, PA. 
Father Paul will celebrate 25 years of service in the priesthood with 
an afternoon liturgy at Saint Malachy on November 26, 1995.
  Father Paul was ordained at Holy Innocents Church in Sheraden, PA, on 
October 31, 1970. He studied at Assumption School, Avalon High School, 
Point Park College, Saint Gregory Seminary in Cincinnati, John Carroll 
University, and Saint Vincent Seminary.
  Father Paul has been parochial vicar at Saint Malachy Parish since 
November 1991. His service to the parish has been exemplary.

  His service to the church has also included stints as parochial vicar 
at Holy Innocents Church [from 1970 to 1974], Saint Theresa Church in 
Munhall, PA [from 1974 to 1975], Saint Veronica Church in Ambridge, PA 
[from 1975 to 1978], and Saint Joseph Church in Mount Oliver, PA [from 
1978 to 1983]. He subsequently served as pastor at Saint Alphonsus 
Church in Murrinsville, PA, and at Epiphany Church in Boyers, PA, from 
1983 to 1991, and he was also in residence at Saint Columbkille Church 
in Imperial, PA, in 1991.
  Father Paul was deanery director of religious education at the South 
Pittsburgh Deanery from 1979 to 1983, and deanery director of the 
Butler Deanery in Butler, PA, from 1984 to 1991. Father Paul has been a 
master catechist for the diocese since 1979, and he is currently the 
program manager for religious education at Saint Malachy.
  Father Paul has provided 25 years of dedicated service to many of the 
Catholic parishes of southwestern Pennsylvania. I want to congratulate 
Father Paul on his silver anniversary.
