  Mr. PORTER. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the Catholic Charities 
of Southern Nevada recognize their 65 years of distinguished service to 
the community.
  The Catholic Charities of Southern Nevada was formed to carry on 
charitable work in the fields of religion, education and social 
services. Catholic Charities is one of the largest nonprofit social 
service providers in the state of Nevada, offering the most 
comprehensive range of human services which include Adoption Services, 
Child Care Services, St. Vincent Lied Dining Facility, Immigration 
Services, Migration and Refugee Services, Residential Services, Senior 
Services and Thrift Stores. The agency now encompasses many diverse 
programs that are designed to aid individuals in gaining self-
sufficiency, independence and dignity.
  Mr. Speaker, I am proud to honor the Catholic Charities of Southern 
Nevada for their 65 years of admirable service. Their tireless work to 
provide a wide array of services to the people of southern Nevada is a 
noble mission and I wish them the best in their continued efforts.
