                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, June 15, 2026

  Mr. CORREA. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to commemorate the legacy of 
the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception and acknowledge 
their dedication to education, healthcare, and pastoral work, which has 
persisted through religious hardship and continued to sustain the 
values of consecrated life.
  June 13, 2026, signified the 100th anniversary of the Franciscan 
Sisters of the Immaculate Conception's mission in providing homes, 
education, and healthcare across the globe. The Congregdtion continues 
to extend its mission, addressing the needs of the communities they 
serve.
  We recognize the service of the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate 
Conception and their ongoing contributions to the reparation of 
society. By following the example of Saint Francis of Assisi--
especially in their contribution to their mission in the face of 
religious persecution--the Congregation embodies the effort inspired by 
the Holy Spirit that drives the Congregation.
  Their commitment to prayer, community, and service remains central to 
the Congregation and their work today.
  I extend my heartfelt congratulations to Franciscan Sisters of the 
Immaculate Conception and honor their mission in maintaining housing 
and social outreach to their communities on this significant occasion 
celebrating 100 years of mission.
