         HONORING THE RETIREMENT OF FATHER THOMAS C. EISWEIRTH

                                 ______

                    in the house of representatives

                         Tuesday, May 22, 2018

  Mr. RYAN of Ohio. Mr. Speaker, today I rise to recognize and honor 
the retirement of Father Thomas C. Eisweirth as the pastor of Blessed 
Sacrament Parish in Warren, Ohio.
  Fr. Eisweirth was ordained a priest in 1974 by Bishop James Malone. 
He grew up at St. Mary Parish in Conneaut, Ohio in Ashtabula County. 
Over the course of his ministry, he has served in five other parishes 
in the Diocese of Youngstown and in other parishes throughout the 
region including Trumbull, Portage, Columbiana, and Mahoning Counties. 
In 2010, Bishop George Murry S.J. appointed Fr. Eisweirth as pastor of 
this parish. Now, after forty-four years in active ministry, he is 
retiring.
  Fr. Eisweirth always gives the most touching sermons. He has a way of 
connecting deep spiritual principles to our everyday lives. He truly 
embodies the mission of the parish to be a Blessed Sacrament for the 
people of Warren, Howland, and the entire world. He is an excellent 
priest and a phenomenal pastor. I will miss his immense wisdom, and I 
will keep him in my prayers. I wish him every blessing as he begins a 
new journey in retirement.
