                        Wednesday, May 22, 2019

  Mr. DAVIDSON of Ohio. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor the life 
of a great man. Born in Piqua, Ohio, Father Angelo Caserta, was the 
oldest active priest in the Archdiocese of Cincinnati. He peacefully 
passed away last week.
  Those who knew Father Caserta recall his talent for people, his 
comforting words, and his love for our community.
  When asked about the secret to his longevity, Father Caserta said, 
``My secret is the good Lord. The Lord gets all the credit. I'm the 
only classmate surviving in my class. Not many average that milestone. 
It's a celebration of God's goodness. How He could choose someone like 
me and take care of me for 70 years while doing His work in the 
priesthood.''
  While I did not know Father Caserta personally, I know of his deeds 
by those who did, and the love he had for our community.
  Madam Speaker, I honor Father Caserta's life of service, and extend 
my condolences to those who knew him.
