        RECOGNIZING HOLY NAME PARISH ON THEIR 140TH ANNIVERSARY

                                 ______
                                 

                       HON. STEPHANIE TUBBS JONES

                                of ohio

                    in the house of representatives

                      Thursday, September 21, 2000

  Mrs. JONES of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, in the years from the founding of 
Holy Name Parish in 1859 to this testimonial dinner in the new 
millennium, the community has witnessed many changes. One constant in 
the sea of change is the service and dedication of Holy Name Parish. 
The church established itself as a beacon of hope from its humble 
beginnings in the home of a local farmer to opening the first 
coeducational school in Cleveland.
  Reverend Thomas V. O'Donnell unselfishly serves in the footsteps of 
the visionaries who came before him to shepherd the flock known as Holy 
Name Parish. As her spiritual leader he will guide the parish in 
continuing to accept her role as not only a monument of bricks and 
mortar but as a center of community life to the Harvard and Broadway 
area.
  Be it resolved that I, Stephanie Tubbs Jones, do hereby welcome the 
featured speaker Bishop Anthony Pilla. May you be proud of the 
achievements of the last 140 years and may you prosper into the next 
millenium.

       ``Then to the place the Lord your God will choose as a 
     dwelling for His Name . . . And there rejoice before the Lord 
     you God.'' Dt. 12:12
