  Mr. HIGGINS of New York. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to recognize 
Trocaire College of Buffalo, New York, as this institution celebrates 
the 65th anniversary of its founding. Founded in 1958 by the Sisters of 
Mercy, Trocaire College is a private, career-oriented institution which 
strives to advance and perpetuate the worthy mission, values and 
charisma of that order.
  As women of faith who commit their lives to God and their resources 
to serve, advocate and pray for those in need around the world, the 
Sisters of Mercy strive to advance a just world for people who are 
poor, sick and uneducated, and Trocaire College is a manifestation of 
that imperative.
  With its roots in nursing and other healthcare professions, Trocaire 
has expanded its offerings to meet the dynamic

needs of students seeking to advance their careers in order to secure a 
better future for themselves and their families and contribute to the 
well-being of their communities.
  I congratulate my friend Dr. Bassam Deeb, the president of Trocaire 
College, as well as the trustees, faculty, staff, students and 
supporters of the College as they announce that they have met and 
exceeded the goal set for their Funding the Future for WNY campaign, 
which is making a Trocaire College education more affordable for more 
students.
  Again, I recognize this important institution and its work to improve 
the lives of the students it serves, and ultimately, the communities 
which they will serve.
