| 1 | HOUSE RESOLUTION
| ||||||
| 2 | WHEREAS, The members of the Illinois House of | ||||||
| 3 | Representatives wish to congratulate the congregation of Saint | ||||||
| 4 | Pascal Parish on the occasion of the Parish's 100th | ||||||
| 5 | anniversary; and
| ||||||
| 6 | WHEREAS, Saint Pascal Parish has served the Chicago | ||||||
| 7 | communities of Dunning and Portage Park in many valuable | ||||||
| 8 | capacities throughout the last 100 years; since the first | ||||||
| 9 | Sunday Mass was offered on September 20, 1914, Saint Pascal | ||||||
| 10 | Parish has been a center of life and culture on Chicago's | ||||||
| 11 | Northwest Side; and
| ||||||
| 12 | WHEREAS, Saint Pascal Parish is the home of the Archbishop | ||||||
| 13 | of Chicago, Francis Cardinal George; and
| ||||||
| 14 | WHEREAS, Saint Pascal Parish's remarkable architecture is | ||||||
| 15 | colloquially known as the "Silent Shrine of Spanish Art" and | ||||||
| 16 | serves as a major attraction on Irving Park Road; built largely | ||||||
| 17 | by out-of-work parishioners during the Great Depression, this | ||||||
| 18 | local landmark is a visible testament to the piety and | ||||||
| 19 | dedication of the Catholic community that calls Saint Pascal | ||||||
| 20 | Parish home; and
| ||||||
| 21 | WHEREAS, Saint Pascal Parish has established itself in the | ||||||
| |||||||
| |||||||
| 1 | hearts of the Dunning and Portage Park communities, bringing | ||||||
| 2 | many generations inspiration, guidance, and leadership through | ||||||
| 3 | their unwavering faith and great compassion; therefore, be it
| ||||||
| 4 | RESOLVED, BY THE HOUSE OF REPRESENTATIVES OF THE | ||||||
| 5 | NINETY-EIGHTH GENERAL ASSEMBLY OF THE STATE OF ILLINOIS, that | ||||||
| 6 | we congratulate the congregation of Saint Pascal Parish on the | ||||||
| 7 | occasion of the Parish's 100th anniversary and wish them | ||||||
| 8 | continued success and happiness in the future; and be it | ||||||
| 9 | further
| ||||||
| 10 | RESOLVED, That a suitable copy of this resolution be | ||||||
| 11 | presented to the congregation of Saint Pascal Parish as a | ||||||
| 12 | symbol of our esteem and respect.
