           TRIBUTE TO MONSIGNOR JOHN QUINN OF MANCHESTER, NH

 Mr. SMITH of New Hampshire. Mr. President, I rise today to pay 
tribute to Monsignor John P. Quinn of Manchester, New Hampshire, on his 
retirement from Catholic Charities. Monsignor Quinn has been Dioceasan 
Director of New Hampshire Catholic Charities since 1976.
  Monsignor Quinn was ordained on May 18, 1969 and has served many 
functions in the Diocese. He first served as Associate Pastor at St. 
Anne's Parish in Manchester. Most recently he served as Secretary to 
the Bishop in charge of Community Service and Director of New Hampshire 
Catholic Charities. He leaves these posts to occupy the position of 
Secretary to the Bishop in charge of Finance and Real Estate and to 
become the Finance Officer of the Diocese.
  Furthermore, Monsignor Quinn has continuously exhibited his unselfish 
dedication to the community. Having volunteered in various 
organizations such as the Trinity High School Board, the Manchester 
Police Department and the New Hampshire Social Welfare Council, 
Monsignor Quinn is an exemplary model for community service.
  As a lifelong Catholic, I would like to congratulate Monsignor Quinn 
on all of his accomplishments and thank him for his service to Catholic 
Charities and his continued service to the Diocese. I wish him well in 
all of his future endeavors. I am honored to represent him in the 
United States Senate.
