  Mr. BONNER. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to pay tribute to St. Margaret 
of Scotland Catholic Church on the occasion of its 100th year.
  St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic Church has been a vital partner of 
the city of Foley and the state of Alabama. The church was founded in 
1906, and for a century, this congregation has been worshipping God and 
serving the people of south Alabama.
  The congregation of St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic Church has used 
its resources

and opportunities to provide hope, comfort, instruction, and 
inspiration to so many along the Gulf Coast. Over the past two years, 
this parish has responded to the needs of the victims of Hurricanes 
Ivan and Katrina, including providing temporary housing, utilities and 
food for six evacuated families.
  St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic Church has lovingly served the 
people of Foley through its contributions to Catholic Social Services 
for Baldwin County, Relay for Life, and Foley Alcoholics Anonymous.
  It is my sincere hope that the St. Margaret of Scotland Catholic 
Church will continue to be such a source of inspiration, hope, and 
comfort to the people of Foley for another 100 years, and I rise today 
to salute this congregation and the many contributions they have made 
toward the betterment of south Alabama.
