                        HON. DENNIS J. KUCINICH

                      Tuesday, September 13, 2005

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in honor and recognition of 
Sister Mary Eileen Duffy, in celebration of the joyous occasion of her 
60th Jubilee Anniversary, reflecting a ministry in faith, service and 
concern for others throughout our Cleveland community.
  Sister Eileen taught at St. Joseph Academy and Nazareth High School. 
In addition to her dedication to teaching, she served as a community 
administrator and Pastoral Associate at St. Leo the Great Church and 
St. Colman Church. Sister Eileen also served diligently on the Diocesan 
Pastoral Council, Commission on Catholic Community Action, the 
Interfaith Commission and the Sisters' Senate. In 1972, Sister Eileen 
was elected as director for the Northwest Deanery.
  Inspired by a true calling of spiritual and humanitarian duty, Sister 
Eileen began her ministry with a strong foundation in education. She 
inspired that quest for knowledge and awareness in others, especially 
her students, and consistently touched the lives of countless children 
within our community. Her dedication, leadership and unwavering faith 
continues to strengthen and empower families and individuals throughout 
our community.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in honor and celebration 
of the 60th Jubilee Anniversary of Sister Eileen Duffy. Her strength in 
leadership, energetic spirit and commitment to helping others, from our 
children to our elderly, has served to lift the spirits of countless 
individuals, and continues to radiate faith, hope and light throughout 
our entire community.
