[[Page E1015]]

June 11, 2002, Father Racco will celebrate the silver anniversary of 
his ordinance into the priesthood. Father Racco has devoted 13 years to 
ministering to the people of Holy Rosary and Little Italy. Father Racco 
has made Holy Rosary Church a great haven for the students at Case 
Western Reserve University and the many families and friends of 
patients at University Hospital and the Cleveland Clinic who visit the 
church daily. Father Racco has previously served as an assistant at St. 
John Bosco in Parma Heights, St. Margaret Mary in South Euclid and 
Pastor at St. Philomena in East Cleveland prior to being assigned 
Pastor of Holy Rosary Church in 1989.
  Therefore, I join with the entire 11th District of Ohio in 
congratulating Father Phillip Racco for his 13 years of service to Holy 
Rosary Church and the city of Cleveland.
