                       Tuesday, February 12, 2008

  Mr. KUCINICH. Madam Speaker, I rise today in recognition of Sister 
Joan Gallagher, in celebration of her years of kindhearted service to 
the less fortunate within the Northeast Ohio community.
  Sister Joan is credited for her vigorous involvement in major 
projects that have touched the lives of so many people. Joan has been 
credited for converting a former Academy into affordable housing for 
the less fortunate, developing a portion of a campus for the elderly 
seeking a God-centered environment and creating Joseph's Home, a home 
for homeless men with medical problems.
  For many years she has helped guide the Famicos Foundation, a 
community development corporation that provides housing for low-income 
families and seniors.
  Madam Speaker and colleagues, please join me in recognizing Sister 
Joan Gallagher. May her years of service to the most vulnerable among 
us be an inspiration to us all in the world today.

                          ____________________
