             OUR LADY QUEEN OF ALL SAINTS 40TH ANNIVERSARY

 Mr. ABRAHAM. Mr. President, I rise today to honor a special 
church in Fraser, Michigan. Our Lady Queen of All Saints Parish 
celebrated its 40th Anniversary on August 23, 1998.
  Since its beginning, Our Lady Queen of All Saints Parish has been 
selflessly dedicated to serving God and the Fraser community. The 
members of the Parish demonstrate their commitment to their faith 
through providing valuable human services to those in need. They have 
done so under the guidance and leadership of Our Lady Queen of All 
Saints' founding father Reverend Father Joseph J. Szmaszek and former 
pastors Monsignor Ferdinand J. DeCneudt, Father J. Michael McGough and 
Father Arthur W. Fauser. The parish continues this service under the 
present pastor, Father Ronald J. Babich. It is my great pleasure to 
recognize the contributions these men have made to the parish, ensuring 
its prosperity and longevity.
  I want to express my congratulations and best wishes to all of the 
clergy and members of Our Lady Queen of All Saints parish. May they 
enjoy continued success.
