                     REGARDING FATHER MARCOS ZAMORA

                                 ______
                                 

                          HON. JERROLD NADLER

                              of new york

                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, September 3, 1997

  Mr. NADLER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Father Marcos 
Zamora and his many accomplishments upon the occasion of his departure 
from St. Paul the Apostle Church.
  Since his ordination in 1990, Father Zamora has been serving his 
congregants as their priest, mentor, and friend. His sensitivity and 
concern for all people has been an inspiration to all and an example 
that is truly worthy of emulation. It is heartening to find an 
individual as fully committed to the service of others as Father 
Zamora. This commitment has helped to bring together different ethnic 
groups, those of different ages and backgrounds in the membership of 
St. Paul's Church. His vocal and passionate stance on many social 
issues has also helped to increase awareness within his community and 
to foster understanding. Father Zamora has sponsored workshops on 
issues such as domestic violence and teenage pregnancy as a means of 
helping his community through education, individual empowerment, and 
communication.
  Mr. Speaker, as Father Zamora prepares to assume a new position at 
the Good Shepherd Church, also in New York City, I congratulate him on 
his successes and extend to him the utmost thanks from those whom he 
has touched. I speak for everyone who knows Father Zamora when I wish 
him well in his future pursuits.
