                        Friday, February 3, 2017

  Ms. ROS-LEHTINEN. Mr. Speaker, as our nation celebrates National 
Catholic Schools Week, I rise to recognize the lasting contributions of 
Catholic education in my South Florida community.
  Marian Center School and Services, Archbishop Edward McCarthy High 
School, Cardinal Gibbons High School, St. Thomas Aquinas High School, 
Archbishop Coleman F. Carroll High School, Archbishop Curley-Notre Dame 
High School, Immaculata-LaSalle High School, Monsignor Edward Pace High 
School, Our Lady of Lourdes Academy, St. Brendan High School, 
Archdiocese of Miami Virtual Catholic School, St. John Vianney 
Seminary, Belen Jesuit Preparatory, Carrollton School of the Sacred 
Heart, Chaminade-Madonna College Preparatory, Christopher Columbus High 
School, and Archbishop Curley Notre Dame are just a few of the Catholic 
institutions serving my district.
  These schools do more than provide their students with an excellent 
education.
  Each one of them is also dedicated to instilling a religious 
grounding, academic excellence, and moral values in their students so 
that they can dedicate their lives to serve God, their families, and 
their community.
  Congratulations to the teachers, administrators, and staff at our 
fantastic Catholic schools.
  Thank you for your dedication to building a brighter future for South 
Florida.
