Mr. Speaker. it is great pleasure for me to take this opportunity to congratulate St. Josephs Roman Catholic Church of Port Griffith. PA. on the occasion of its 75th anniversary. Originally founded by immigrants who settled in the Wyoming Valley. this church has endured tremendous hardships throughout its history. Despite overwhelming odds. the loyal congregation of this fine church has persevered and found greater strength of faith. I would like to share with my colleagues in the House of Representatives just one example of the inspiring faith. courage. and Initiative of St. Josephs. In 1961. St. Josephs was devastated by a mine subsidence disaster.
