      HONORED TO ATTEND MOUNT ALOYSIUS COLLEGE MLK PRAYER SERVICE

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, on Monday, I was honored 
to be at Mount Aloysius College to participate in its Martin Luther 
King Jr. Day prayer service.
  Located in Cresson, Pennsylvania, Pennsylvania's 15th Congressional 
District, Mount Aloysius College planned events throughout this week to 
honor the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The activities 
include community service projects, diversity talks, art exhibits, and 
more.
  Mr. Speaker, it was a privilege to join the students, faculty, and 
staff on Monday during a truly moving prayer service in Cosgrave Lobby. 
The service featured several readers who shared Dr. King's powerful 
words, and everyone in attendance sang hymns.
  Yesterday, the college hosted a multicultural food day. Today, at 
3:30 p.m., a special guest speaker from Carlow University will be 
featured at Alumni Hall. Friday concludes Martin Luther King Week at 
Mount Aloysius College with an exhibit in the Cosgrave Lobby and a 
poetry night for all the regional college students at a location in 
Ebensburg, Pennsylvania.
  Mr. Speaker, I was pleased to be able to meet so many wonderful Mount 
Aloysius students, and I thank them for hosting me.
