                    in the house of representatives

                     Wednesday, September 13, 2000

  Mr. KUCINICH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Father Joseph A. 
Romansky who is celebrating his 25th anniversary as a priest of the 
Cleveland Catholic Diocese. Father Romansky is a native of the 
Cleveland area. His first of many admirable assignments was at St. 
Catherine's Parish on East 93rd Street. Following his dedicated service 
to St. Catherine's, Father Romansky worked at the diocesan offices in 
downtown Cleveland while also assisting at St. Francis in the East 71st 
Street and Superior area. From there, Father Romansky became pastor of 
Holy Family Catholic Church on East 131st Street, and later he was 
chaplain at the Light of Hearts Villa. Father Romansky has spent the 
last several years spreading hope and peace as chaplain at St. 
Augustine Manor.
  Over the course of the last 25 years, Father Romansky has fully 
devoted his life to serving his parish and the people of Cleveland. 
More importantly, he is committed to the well-being and happiness of 
all people regardless of race, creed, gender, or class. Father Romansky 
is a kind and generous man who makes all those he comes in contact with 
feel special and loved.
  Mr. Speaker, I ask all members of the House of Representatives to 
recognize the achievements of Father Joseph A. Romansky as he 
celebrates his 25 years of service to the Cleveland Catholic Diocese. I 
ask my colleagues to join me in thanking him for his charity and 
dedication to his faith, his parish, and the entire city of Cleveland.
