Madam Speaker. it is with great pleasure that I rise today to join the Reverend Anthony Kopka. members of the congregation. and the Stratford community in extending my sincere congratulations to St. Josephs of Stratford National Catholic Church as they celebrate its 100th Anniversary. This is a remarkable milestone for this community treasure and I am proud to help them celebrate this momentous occasion. St. Josephs was first organized in Bridgeport. Connecticut by a group of Polish Catholic immigrants in 1907 and later moved to Stratford. Connecticut after building a new church complex. St. Josephs was bom out of the congregations desire to exercise more control over their parish.
