                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                    in the house of representatives

                         Thursday, June 4, 1998

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the achievements and 
contributions of Fr. John Charles Dalton, on the 50th Anniversary of 
his Ordination.
  Father Dalton entered St. Mary Seminary in 1943 and was ordained five 
years later, by Most Reverend Edward F. Hoban. In his years of service, 
Father Dalton baptized over 2,000 parishioners and united 545 couples 
in marriage. He served as Associate Director of Services to the Deaf, 
Counselor to self-help groups, and role model to his community.
  Throughout his distinguished life of service, Father Dalton has been 
a powerful force in the ministry. From the physical exertion of 
constructing a ballfield, to the patience of teaching, to the 
compassion of working with the deaf, Father Dalton has proven himself 
as a gentleman driven to help his community. He continues to visit the 
homebound and the hospitalized, and remains active in the Parish 
Ministry at Holy Name, Cleveland. From him, we can all learn of 
dedication, selflessness, generosity and wisdom.
  My fellow colleagues, please join me in recognizing the community 
service of Father John C. Dalton, and celebrating the 50th Anniversary 
of his Ordination.

                          ____________________
