                       Friday, September 21, 2012

  Mr. FITZPATRICK. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor the life and 
memory of the late Reverend Alfred C. Krass, retired pastor of the 
United Christian Church in Levittown, Pennsylvania, and former 
missionary to Ghana.
  This weekend, the Interfaith Community of Lower Bucks County will 
posthumously present their inaugural Peace Prize to Reverend Krass, who 
passed away last year at the age of seventy-four.
  Throughout his life, Reverend Krass was a symbol of unity and peace 
who called for open communication between those of different faiths and 
cultures.
  Reverend Krass was also the founder and first president of the 
Interfaith Housing Development Corp. of Bucks County and the Lower 
Bucks Center for Church and Community.
  Dedicating his life to the service of others, Reverend Krass was a 
selfless leader who left a lasting impression on his community, and 
serves as an example to us all.
