                        HON. SUE WILKINS MYRICK

                      Thursday, September 22, 2005

  Mrs. MYRICK. Mr. Speaker, I'm pleased to recognize this morning's 
guest chaplain, Reverend Anthony Marciano. Reverend Marciano is the 
Executive Director of the Charlotte Rescue Mission in Charlotte, North 
Carolina. The Rescue Mission ministers to people in the Charlotte-
Mecklenburg area who struggle with poverty, homelessness, and drug 
addiction. The Mission's five fold strategy aims to meet the spiritual, 
physical, emotional, social, and vocational needs of these folks, in a 
way that demonstrates God's love. Under Reverend Marciano's direction, 
the Mission has seen truly inspiring success rates among its clients, 
and I'm proud to represent people like Tony in Congress.
  Rev. Marciano is a graduate of the Salvation Army's seminary. Before 
moving to Charlotte, he founded a shelter in New Jersey to address 
homelessness and addiction. Tony and his wife Dorothy have three kids, 
and they live in Charlotte, North Carolina with their dog, Rocky.
  Founded in 1938, the Charlotte Rescue Mission continues to make a 
positive impact on our city. I applaud Rev. Marciano for his dedication 
and Christian witness--and I'm honored to welcome him to the House 
Floor this morning.
