                       Monday, September 15, 2025

  Mr. FITZGERALD. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to ask my colleagues to 
join me in welcoming His All-Holiness Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew 
to our Nation's Capital. As the Head of the second largest Christian 
Church in the world, Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew leads a Church of 
300 million people, including a large community in Southeastern 
Wisconsin.
  His work towards the cause of peace should be commended, and on 
behalf of Wisconsin's 5th Congressional District, I congratulate 
Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew ahead of receiving the Templeton 
Prize.
