  Mr. RICHMOND. Mr. Speaker, I rise to honor the 40 years of service in 
the city of New Orleans, Louisiana by Pastor Uyless D. Landry, Sr.
  Pastor Uyless D. Landry, Sr. is the senior pastor of First Mount 
Calvary Missionary Baptist Church, in the uptown section of New 
Orleans, Louisiana. For the last 40 years he has been much more than a 
typical pastor, who caters exclusively to the needs of his immediate 
parishioners. Since 1978, his reach has extended beyond the walls of 
the local church. In the community he is a humanitarian and 
philanthropist. Over the years, he has helped thousands of people with 
sound counsel and financial assistance, without federal aid.
  In 1951, Pastor Landry graduated from Booker T. Washington High 
School. In 1952, he married his high school sweetheart Emily Jackson. 
Together they raised four children, Uyless D. Landry, Jr., Darrell, 
Dawn and Annette Landry. In 1969, Pastor Landry was called to the 
ministry. In 1974, he was ordained and licensed to preach in the state 
of Louisiana. In 1975, he received a Bachelor of Theology from Union 
Baptist Theological Seminary. In 1978, he received a Master of Theology 
from Union Baptist Theological Seminary.
  Pastor Landry loves the city and the people of New Orleans. His sense 
of service is forever a part of the city and his dedication to 
community embodies the spirit of New Orleans.
  Mr. Speaker, I celebrate Pastor Uyless D. Landry, Sr. for 40 years of 
service in the city of New Orleans, Louisiana
