  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, I would like to honor the late 
Reverend Angel Villaronga.
  A selfless leader in our South Florida community, Reverend Villaronga 
touched the lives of innumerable people through his service to the St. 
Robert Bellarmine, Centro Hispano Catolico and Movimiento Familiar 
Cristiano.
  Host of a daily radio program called Conflictos Humanos, Reverend 
Villaronga was one of the first religious leaders in the South Florida 
community to broadcast religious programming.
  Those who were fortunate enough to know him will always remember his 
dedication to his work and passion for others.
  Reverend Villaronga was a true and sincere symbol of generosity and 
compassion. I am

certain that in his passing, he has left a legacy that will not be 
forgotten.
  I urge my colleagues to join me as we remember and honor a man whose 
faith undoubtedly strengthened and empowered all who crossed his path.
  May the memories of Reverend Villaronga serve to benefit others as 
his benevolence clearly did throughout his 80 years of life.
