  Mr. VAN DREW. Mr. Speaker Pro Tempore, this May, I had the pleasure 
of attending the Knights of Columbus ceremony at St. Joseph's Church to 
honor dedicated members of our community. These individuals have made a 
profound impact on our South Jersey community through their passion, 
their resilience, and their unwavering commitment to making our 
community a better place. I honor Sister Thomas Marie as our Educator 
of the Year, Flora Morris as our Female Student of the Year, Nicholas 
Catanoso as our Male Student of the Year, Joseph LaRosa as the 
recipient of the Shield Award, Thomas Owings as our Senior Citizen of 
the Year, the Keefer Family as our Family of the Year, Abby Powell as 
our Citizen of the Year, and Father Perry Cherubini as our Knight of 
the Year. I express our deepest gratitude to these exceptional 
individuals for their selfless service and dedication. Let us not only 
honor them but also draw inspiration from their remarkable examples. 
Their efforts remind us that each one of us has the power to make a 
difference and that our collective actions can shape a brighter future 
for our community. God Bless these outstanding community members, and 
God Bless our United States of America.
