                        Wednesday, June 5, 2019

  Mr. BERGMAN. Madam Speaker, it's my honor to recognize the 100th 
anniversary of St. Ignatius of Loyola Catholic Parish in Rogers City, 
Michigan. Through its dedication to education, faith, and its local 
community, St. Ignatius has become an indispensable part of Michigan's 
First District.
  Founded in 1919 by Father C.T. Skowronski, St. Ignatius Church grew 
rapidly to serve the thriving community and growing Catholic 
congregation during the early 20th century. Over the next 100 years, 
St. Ignatius continued its success and worked to fulfill its mission of 
faith-filled liturgies, hospitality, evangelization, family life, and 
life-long education. The parish's dedication to its local community 
serves as an example for every person in Northern Michigan, and its 
impact on Michigan's First District cannot be understated. As Saint 
Ignatius of Loyola said, ``Love is shown more in deeds than in words.''
  Madam Speaker, it's my honor to congratulate St. Ignatius of Loyola 
Catholic Parish and its parishioners for 100 years of success, service, 
and faith. Michiganders can take great pride in knowing the First 
District is home to such dedicated citizens. On behalf of my 
constituents, I wish them all the best in its future endeavors.
