                    in the house of representatives

                      Tuesday, September 13, 2011

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today in recognition of the 100th 
anniversary of the Saint Theodosius Cathedral, the oldest Orthodox 
parish in the State of Ohio.
  The St. Theodosius parish was founded in 1896 and is the oldest 
Orthodox parish in the State of Ohio. The Cathedral was built by 
Russian immigrants in 1911 and has been a landmark in Cleveland's 
Tremont neighborhood ever since. St. Theodosius was the first Orthodox 
Church in the State of Ohio and for years was the only Orthodox Church 
in the City of Cleveland. It has had a rich history and attracted a 
multitude of parishioners from many of Cleveland's cultural groups.
  St. Theodosius Cathedral is on the National Registry of Sacred 
Landmarks and is a Cleveland Sacred Landmark. The Cathedral also joined 
the National Register of Historic Places in 1974.
  The St. Theodosius Parish will be celebrating the 100th Anniversary 
of the Cathedral September 9th through 11th with a series of liturgical 
and social events.
  Mr. Speaker and colleagues, please join me in recognition of the 
100th anniversary of St. Theodosius Cathedral. I hope their celebration 
this weekend will be joyous and reflective of the rich, spiritual 
history of the parish.
