                    in the house of representatives

                      Wednesday, October 30, 2019

  Mr. ENGEL. Madam Speaker, it is my honor to recognize a good friend 
and community leader in my district who this year is turning 75 years 
old, Bishop Angelo Rosario of the Bronx. Bishop Rosario and his wife, 
Bishop Nancy Rosario, have served as Pastors of Church of God's 
Children in Co-op City since 1990. He has been in Pastoral Ministry for 
over 50 years. Bishop Rosario is the President and Founder of the 
United Clergy Coalition and CEO of the Bronx Clergy Task Force from the 
Bronx Borough President's Office of Faith Based Initiatives. He is also 
a former chairman of Community Board 10 in the Bronx. Bishop Rosario 
completed his studies in Theology and Pastoral Counseling at the Inter-
American Theological University.
  Bishop Rosario's ministries have a well-earned reputation for helping 
those in the community through spiritual and education programming. 
This includes classes, after-school programs, spiritual counseling, job 
placement services and health services. He has also been instrumental 
in developing many community wide events and activities in Co-op City, 
including Youth Day, the United Day of Prayer, and several different 
international relief funds. Joining Bishop Rosario every step of the 
way has been Nancy, their 10 children--four of whom are pastors 
themselves--and many grandchildren.
  Madam Speaker, Co-op City and the Bronx is fortunate to have Bishop 
Rosario as a leader in the community. As he celebrates his 75th 
birthday, I want to wish him and his family all of the best. I thank 
him for his years of dedicated service.
