  Mr. TRAFICANT. Mr. Speaker, as Representative to the citizens of the 
17th Congressional District of Ohio, it brings me great pleasure to pay 
tribute to Father John S. Trimbur, as he is honored on this date, May 
20, 2002.
  Born in Warren, Ohio on January 15, 1947, Father John Trimbur 
graduated from Niles McKinley High School in 1964. He entered the 
seminary after graduation, receiving degrees from Duquesne University 
in Pittsburgh and St. Thomas Seminary in Denver, Colorado. Father 
Trimbur was ordained for the Archdiocese of Denver on May 25, 1974. He 
then served as an Associate Pastor of Notre Dame Parish in Denver, St. 
Thomas Moore in Englewood and the Cathedral of the Immaculate 
Conception, also in Denver.
  Father Trimbur transferred to the Youngstown Diocese in 1978, and 
served as Associate pastor at Warren St. James, Canton St. Joan of Arc, 
Austintown St. Joseph and Immaculate Heart of Mary Parishes. From 1987 
through 1988, Father Trimbur served as Administrator of St. Joseph's 
Mantua. He was then appointed as Pastor of St. John's Baptist in 
Campbell in 1989, where he resides at the current time. Father Trimbur 
also served as Pastor of St. Stephen of Hungary Parish from 1991 
through 1995, and St. Lucy in Campbell from 1995 to 1996.
  Father John Trimbur served on the diocesan ``Walking Together'' 
committee, and currently serves on the diocesan Board of Education, and 
recently served on the committee to rewrite the Diocesan curriculum for 
catechesis. He is a member of Poland Council #4471, where he serves 
Chaplain, and is also a member and Faithful Friar of Msgr. John Lettau 
Assembly.
  In the City of Campbell Father Trimbur served on the advisory board 
for Campbell Commons Partnership Program and is President of Ecumenical 
Council, the Diocese Cemetery Board, the St. John's Cemetery Board, as 
well as a member of ACTION.
  I join with the citizens of this district in honoring Father John 
Trimbur. He is to be commended for his dedication and commitment to the 
diocese, the City of Campbell and to the community as a whole. Today, 
and everyday, we are so very thankful for Father John Trimbur's 
presence in our lives. I wish him well in his future endeavors, and may 
God bless him in the years to come.
