                   WELCOMING MONSIGNOR KEVIN SULLIVAN

  The SPEAKER pro tempore. Without objection, the gentleman from New 
York (Mr. Espaillat) is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. ESPAILLAT. Mr. Speaker, I am proud to welcome Monsignor Kevin 
Sullivan as a guest chaplain here today.
  Monsignor Sullivan is the Executive Director of Catholic Charities 
for the Archdiocese of New York.
  Monsignor Sullivan also represents Catholic Charities agencies in 
public policy discussions about immigration, welfare reform, job 
development, and foster care. He joins us on a day when we welcome more 
than 500 Dominican Americans from around the country to celebrate 
Dominican heritage and discuss civic engagement and issues affecting 
the Dominican community across the country.
  A native of the Bronx, the Monsignor served as a parish priest at St. 
Elizabeth's Church, my church, in Washington Heights, which is home to 
a historic and thriving Dominican American community.
  We owe a debt of gratitude to Monsignor Sullivan for his service to 
our community and to all New Yorkers and I am proud to see him give the 
invocation in the House of Representatives today.
