  The SPEAKER. Without objection, the gentleman from Illinois (Mr.

  There was no objection.
  Mr. SHIMKUS. Madam Speaker, I rise to thank and welcome Pastor 
Wright. Pastor Wright serves as pastor of my home congregation, Holy 
Cross Lutheran Church and School in Collinsville, Illinois.
  He received his undergraduate degree from Concordia University in 
Austin, Texas, and a master of divinity from Concordia Theological 
Seminary in Fort Wayne, Indiana. He is currently pursuing a master of 
sacred theology at Concordia Seminary in St. Louis, Missouri.
  He has served as a pastor for the Lutheran Church Missouri Synod 
since 2006. During that time, he has also served as a resource hospital 
chaplain, hospice chaplain, and on multiple boards.
  His wife, Keri, is the help, support, and love of his life. They have 
four beautiful daughters. Katie is 12; Gwen, 10; Lilli, 10; and Magie, 
also 10.
  Yes, you heard it right, triplets.
