           TRIBUTE TO CATHOLIC HIGH SCHOOL OF HUNTSVILLE, AL

                                 ______
                                 

                    HON. ROBERT E. (BUD) CRAMER, JR.

                               of alabama

                    in the house of representatives

                       Tuesday, February 26, 2002

  Mr. CRAMER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize Catholic High 
School in Huntsville, AL, as it kicks off its annual ``Community 
Service Day.'' Today, Catholic High seniors will go out into the 
community to volunteer their time and hard work throughout Huntsville.
  Part of Catholic High School's mission statement is ``to serve the 
families of our Catholic parishes and the wider community.'' They 
pledge to guide students into loving service of others through 
activities such as ``Community Service Day.'' Catholic High School has 
a student faith development initiative that includes giving back to 
their community through service and outreach, and becoming more aware 
of the needs of others. Every year, students are required to spend 100 
hours volunteering in the Community.
  Mr. Speaker, I want to commend Catholic High School and each member 
of its senior class for their strong commitment to serving others. This 
kind of outreach is extremely beneficial to the Huntsville community as 
well as to each student as they grow and learn about what it means to 
reach out to those who are in need. I wish them the best and sincerely 
thank them as they go out today to serve our community.
