  Mr. BARLETTA. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor Pastor Joe Catani of 
Dubois, Pennsylvania for 50 years of service to his community.
   Pastor Catani has served as the pastor for three different churches 
over the span of his fifty year career. From 1971-1997, he served at 
the Jonestown Bible Church, followed by The Grace Fellowship Church in 
Wilkes Barre (1997-1999), and finally, the Bressler Bible Church (1999-
2014). In addition to his work with the church, he has volunteered as a 
chaplain for rest homes and has served on mission agency boards. Pastor 
Catani's efforts have enriched his community, and his selfless service 
has touched thousands of people, in the states and abroad.
   Mr. Speaker, for over 50 years of exemplary pastoral service, I 
commend Pastor Catani and wish him the best in his future endeavors.
