Mr. Speaker. I rise today to pay a respectful tribute to the Russian Orthodox Cathedral of the Holy Transfiguration on the 90th anniversary of its founding. Throughout its history. the Cathedral of the Holy Transfiguration has dedicated itself to providing spiritual guidance to the growing immigrant population of Greenpoint. Brooklyn. The Cathedral was founded in 1908. with construction beginning on the cathedral in 1916. In 1921 Archbishop Platon consecrated the church. This large. beautiful house or worship was listed in the National Registry of Historic Places in 1980. The Cathedral of the Holy Transfiguration would not have grown and prospered without its dedicated parishioners and priests.
