                      HONORING SISTER PEG SPINDLER

  (Mr. MRVAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 
minute.)
  Mr. MRVAN. Madam Speaker, it is with great admiration and pride that 
I rise to honor Sister Peg Spindler for her lifetime of service and 
dedication to the Sojourner Truth House in Gary, Indiana.
  After more than 24 years of service, Sister Peg will be retiring on 
July 1 as the executive director of the women's shelter.
  Sister Peg found her calling to sisterhood at a young age while 
growing up in Cedar Lake, Indiana. In November 1997, Sister Peg, along 
with the support of the Poor Handmaids of Jesus Christ, opened the 
doors to the Sojourner Truth House, which serves the true vulnerable 
populations, the homeless, the underserved, and the at-risk women and 
their children, with the goal of providing them the necessary tools and 
resources to improve their quality of life.
  After retiring, Sister Peg plans to visit Catholic parishes 
throughout the country to advocate on best practices, to reduce carbon 
dioxide emissions, and to combat the harmful effects of climate change 
on the most vulnerable.
  Madam Speaker, I ask that you and my colleagues join me in honoring 
Sister Peg Spindler for her lifetime of leadership and tireless 
dedication to the most vulnerable of populations in her community.
