  IN HONOR OF THE ST. JOHN'S COUNCIL NO. 1345 KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS OF 
                     DUMONT-BERGENFIELD CENTENNIAL

                                 ______
                                 

                           HON. SCOTT GARRETT

                             of new jersey

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 26, 2008

  Mr. GARRETT of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I am pleased to 
congratulate the Knights of Columbus of Dumont-Bergenfield St. John's 
Council, No. 1345 on their Centennial Rededication. St. John's Council 
No. 1345 is the fourth largest council out of 300 councils in my home 
State of New Jersey.
  Chartered on June 28, 1908, this council has been serving our 
community while faithfully upholding the Knights' founding principles 
of charity, unity, and fraternity. As a fraternal and charitable 
organization, part of the world's largest lay Catholic organization, 
the St. John's Council No. 1345 has given over $1.2 million dollars and 
has provided over five hundred thousand hours in service to those in 
need. This group is to be commended for providing 100 years of funding 
and manpower not just locally in northern New Jersey, but also in 
service to charitable activities nationally and globally.
  As the St. John's Council No. 1345 gathers to mark their centennial 
year, I rise in tribute and to say thank you for their contribution to 
making north Jersey such a fine place to live, work, and raise a 
family.
