     WELCOME TO FATHER MICHAEL CARIDI, MARY, MOTHER OF THE CHURCH, 
                        CHARLEROI, PENNSYLVANIA

  (Mr. MASCARA asked and was given permission to address the House for 
1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. MASCARA. Mr. Speaker, I would like to welcome Father Michael 
Caridi of Mary, Mother of the Church, in Charleroi, Pennsylvania, and 
his brothers, Gregory and Jamie Caridi, to our Nation's Capital.
  Thank you, Father Michael, for your inspiring prayer. I am sure it 
will be comforting to all of us as we proceed with our legislative 
business today.
  I would also like to extend a special greeting to Father David 
Dzermejko, pastor of Mary, Mother of the Church. Father David also 
served as a guest chaplain here several years ago.
  I would also like to thank the House chaplain, Father Daniel 
Coughlin, for making the arrangements for Father Michael's visit.
  Father David and Father Michael have been true spiritual leaders of 
our parish.
  I wish to extend my best wishes to the parish family in Charleroi. Be 
assured, be assured, that I will take good care of Father Michael 
during his visit to Washington, DC.
