                   WELCOMING SISTER JACQUELYN GUSDANE

  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from Ohio (Mr. Joyce) 
is recognized for 1 minute.
  There was no objection.
  Mr. JOYCE. Mr. Speaker, I'd like to thank Sister Jacquelyn Gusdane 
for leading the House in prayer and for making this trip from Chardon, 
Ohio. It was a beautiful prayer, and it's an absolute honor to have her 
here today.
  I first met Sister Jacquelyn at Notre Dame-Cathedral Latin School in 
Chardon, where she is the president and all three of my children 
attended high school. Sister Jacquelyn is a model of grace, compassion, 
and humility, and I feel very lucky to have had my three kids under her 
watch.
  Sister Jacquelyn leads a life of service, volunteering at WomenSafe 
in Geauga County, at the Hospice of the Western Reserve, and countless 
other schools, organizations, and churches in northeast Ohio.
  She's also taken her service beyond our borders, making a trip to the 
Holy Land, to Israel and Jordan, and traveling to China, Brazil, El 
Salvador, Germany, and many other nations.
  At NDCL, under her leadership, this small parochial school has 
allowed many children of middle class families such as ours to enjoy 
their college preparatory education while becoming leaders in the 
community, all the while keeping true to the mission of living the 
truth through love.
  Sister Jacquelyn, it's an honor and a privilege to have you here this 
morning, and thank you very much for leading the House of 
Representatives in prayer.
