                      Thursday, September 23, 2021

  Mrs. HARTZLER. Madam Speaker, I rise today to honor St. Ann Catholic 
Church in Warsaw, Missouri, which has provided a place for the Catholic 
community in the town to gather and worship for over 75 years. On March 
3, 1946, St. Ann's was dedicated by Bishop O'Hara from the Diocese of 
Kansas City, and the first mass was performed by Fr. Urban Landoll from 
the Society of the Precious Blood.
  The original church, known as the ``sheep shed'', was a small 
building for a small parish, but since then, the parish has flourished 
and built larger facilities, including a parish hall which was finished 
in 1984, to accommodate the increased growth of their church family.
  The parish and their new Pastor, Fr. Ben Nwosu, welcome everyone from 
the community to join in mass and celebrate the Lord.
  The Church will have their anniversary celebration on Sunday, 
September 26th.
  Congratulations to St. Ann's Church for contributing to the Warsaw 
area for 75 years. May the Lord continue to bless them as they enrich 
the Warsaw community for many years to come.
