  Mr. HERN of Oklahoma. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Holy 
Trinity Greek Orthodox Church on its centennial anniversary.
  Established in 1925, this parish has served Tulsa and the Greek 
Orthodox Archdiocese of America for a century. The Church continues to 
be a strong and dedicated partner in the Tulsa community.
  This impressive anniversary highlights the congregation's devotion to 
the greater Tulsa community, as well as their unwavering faith in God 
and commitment to His will. One hundred years of service is an 
extraordinary accomplishment.
  The rich traditions of the Orthodox Church extend back to the 
earliest days of Christianity, established in the lands surrounding the 
Mediterranean, where the first Christian communities lived and 
worshipped. These traditions have survived millennia, connecting the 
modern Orthodox Church to the earliest practitioners of our faith and 
welcoming congregants of all races and cultures.
  Congratulations to Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church of Tulsa for 
reaching this significant milestone. I join the congregation and Tulsa 
community-at-large in celebrating this centennial anniversary, and I 
sincerely wish the Church sustained success and prosperity for years to 
come.
