                       Tuesday, February 10, 2015

  Mr. GARRETT. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the 250th 
anniversary of St. Joseph's Roman Catholic Church, located in West 
Milford, New Jersey. St. Joseph's parish dates back to 1765, making it 
one of the oldest and longest lasting parishes in New Jersey.
   As we look back on the past 250 years, we recognize that the world 
has changed drastically. Throughout these changes St. Joseph's church 
has remained a beacon of faith for their community. The parishioners of 
St. Joseph's Church come together every week to worship, promote faith, 
care for the less fortunate, and serve their local community. Their 
commitment to one another, and to the wider community, is exceptional.
   I congratulate St. Joseph's on this impressive anniversary. It is an 
honor to represent the people of West Milford and to commend St. 
Joseph's parish for all they do as they seek to make our community a 
better place.
