 100TH ANNIVERSARY OF THE HOLY SAVIOUR CLUB OF NORRISTOWN, PENNSYLVANIA

                                 ______
                                 

                            HON. JIM GERLACH

                            of pennsylvania

                    in the house of representatives

                         Friday, July 28, 2006

  Mr. GERLACH. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to celebrate the 100th 
anniversary of the Holy Saviour Club of Norristown, Pennsylvania.
   The Holy Saviour Club was founded by Italian-American immigrants 
from the town of Montella, Italy. It was the desire of the founding 
families to share their Italian heritage and culture with their fellow 
Montgomery County citizens.
   The Holy Saviour Club will celebrate its 100th anniversary with a 
weekend celebration on August 4th-6th and the members and guests will 
participate in a celebratory procession, feast, and a solemn mass at 
Holy Saviour Church.
   Mr. Speaker, I ask that my colleagues join me today in honoring the 
Holy Saviour Club of Norristown, Pennsylvania as it celebrates its 
100th anniversary. It is my hope the Club continues to prosper and 
promote the Italian heritage and culture of its members for the benefit 
of the larger Montgomery County community.
