            RECOGNIZING ST. JOHN THE BAPTIST CROATIAN PARISH

 Mr. MARSHALL. Mr. President, I rise today to recognize St. 
John the Baptist Croatian Parish for 125 years of service to Kansas 
City, KS. For 125 years, St. John the Baptist has stood as a beacon of 
faith, culture, and community service, offering spiritual guidance, 
preserving Croatian heritage, and fostering a welcoming environment for 
generations of families.
  The parish's steadfast dedication and perseverance in ministering to 
one another and the broader community exemplify the values that define 
both Kansas and our Nation. Their legacy of faith and cultural 
preservation has enriched countless lives across Wyandotte County and 
beyond, and their story rightly belongs in the pages of the 
Congressional Record.
  I commend the clergy, parishioners, and all those who have 
contributed to the growth and success of St. John the Baptist. Their 
commitment to service and tradition is both admirable and inspiring, 
and I am confident their parish will continue to thrive and make a 
lasting impact for generations to come.
  Once again, congratulations on this remarkable milestone. May the 
celebration of 125 years inspire continued joy, gratitude, and renewed 
commitment to the enduring values that make St. John the Baptist 
Croatian Parish such a treasured part of the Kansas City community.
  I now ask my colleagues to join me in honoring St. John the Baptist 
Croatian Parish for 125 exceptional years of service and 
devotion.
