            RECOGNIZING THE KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS COUNCIL 403

  (Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania asked and was given permission to 
address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)
  Mr. THOMPSON of Pennsylvania. Mr. Speaker, I rise to recognize the 
Knights of Columbus Council 403 as they celebrate their 125th 
anniversary.
  The Knights of Columbus Council 403 is located in Bradford, 
Pennsylvania, in McKean County, and this chapter has been instrumental 
in the history and growth of the city of Bradford. This anniversary is 
commemorated with a marker that was commissioned by Wright Monuments, 
and it was placed outside the St. Bernard Church.
  To celebrate this anniversary, members gathered on church grounds 
before dinner and before socializing at the Bradford Club. The Catholic 
fraternal organization was founded January 29, 1899, and the council 
continues its deep history in the Bradford Catholic community today.
  As members of the council, they aspire to live by four principles: 
charity, unity, fraternity, and patriotism.
  I congratulate the council on this historical anniversary, and I am 
grateful for all the work they do within the Bradford community.
