                          HON. MELISSA A. HART

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Monday, July 25, 2005

  Ms. HART. Mr. Speaker, I would like to take this opportunity to 
congratulate Monsignor William Ogrodowski, marking the 30th anniversary 
of his ordination to the Catholic priesthood.
  This June, the Monsignor will celebrate the 30th anniversary of his 
ordination in 1975. For the last 30 years Monsignor Ogrodowski has been 
a symbol of strength and a source of inspiration for not only the 
congregations of Saints Peter and Paul and Saint Francis Cabrini, but 
the entire Beaver County community as well. In order to mark this 
special occasion, parishioners met at Saints Peter and Paul in Beaver 
for an anniversary mass, followed by a dinner reception at Saints 
Francis Cabrini in Center Township. The Monsignor, joined in 
celebration by 14 fellow priests, commented that his favorite part of 
the priesthood was interacting with people.
  I ask my colleagues in the United States House of Representatives to 
join me in honoring the Monsignor. It is an honor to represent the 
Fourth Congressional District of Pennsylvania and a pleasure to salute 
such a principled clergyman as Monsignor William Ogrodowski.
