                        Tuesday, October 3, 2000

  Mr. KANJORSKI. Mr. Speaker, today I pay tribute to Little Flower 
Manor of Wilkes-Barre, Pennsylvania, a nonprofit skilled nursing home 
which is celebrating its 25th anniversary of compassionate, loving care 
and service to the community. The Carmelite Sisters for the Aged and 
Infirm operate Little Flower Manor under the auspices of the Diocese of 
Scranton.
  This exceptional facility opened its doors in 1975, a living tribute 
to the vision, dedication and persistence of the Most Reverend J. 
Carroll McCormick, the late Bishop of Scranton, and the generosity of 
the faithful of the Diocese.
  This dedication to provide service to the aged continues under the 
leadership of the Most Reverend James C. Timlin, the present Bishop of 
Scranton. At Little Flower Manor, each resident is given the attention 
required to enable him or her to maintain personal dignity, 
individuality and independence.
  A 25th Anniversary Gala will be held Nov. 3, 2000, at the Woodlands 
Inn and Resort with Judge Peter Olszewski as guest speaker. Sister 
Jeanette D. Lindsay, administrator and chief operating officer of 
Little Flower Manor, will present the inaugural Crystal Rose Award. The 
honored recipients are Mr. and Mrs. John D. McCarthy and the late 
Bishop McCormick.
  Jack and CeCe McCarthy have been outstanding supporters of the 
values, commitment and mission of Little Flower Manor, practicing 
stewardship by giving unselfishly of their time, talents and treasure.
  Mr. Speaker, I send my congratulations and best wishes to the 
McCarthys, the Carmelite Sisters, the Diocese of Scranton, and everyone 
who plays a part in Little Flower Manor's continued service to its 
residents.
