                 TRIBUTE TO ST. PATRICK CATHOLIC CHURCH

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. DAVID YOUNG

                                of iowa

                    in the house of representatives

                        Thursday, June 25, 2015

  Mr. YOUNG of Iowa. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize and 
congratulate a special Iowa church congregation from Imogene, Iowa. St. 
Patrick Catholic Church will be celebrating the centennial of their 
building on July 11, 2015.
  Founded first in 1880, the third St. Patrick Catholic Church building 
was established August 1915. Since that time, and long before, 
congregations of Iowans have been worshipping at St. Patrick's. Still 
to this day it remains one of the bedrock institutions of this small 
Iowa town.
  Mr. Speaker, I applaud and congratulate the members of St. Patrick's 
for their many years of faithful attendance and service to God. I am 
proud to represent them in the United States Congress. I know that my 
colleagues will join me in congratulating St. Patrick's and wishing 
them, their pastor, Reverend Tom Kunnel, Bishop Richard Pates, and the 
community of Imogene nothing but joy in the years ahead.
