WHEREAS, This dedicated clergyman has implemented many | ||
programs for spiritual enrichment at St. Michael's, among them | ||
RENEW, the Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults, the youth | ||
ministry, and ENVISION; in addition, he has guided the expansion of | ||
facilities to meet the changing needs of the parish; a new education | ||

the Southern Vicariate by Daniel Cardinal DiNardo to serve as his | ||
representative for approximately 30 parishes; he also benefits the | ||
wider community as an active member of the Brazosport Ministerial | ||
Alliance, and he is an ardent supporter of religious vocations and | ||
the pro-life ministry; and | ||
WHEREAS, Monsignor Wleczyk has wholeheartedly committed his | ||
talents and energies to serving the parish of St. Michael the | ||
Archangel Catholic Church, and his leadership over the past 50 | ||
years has provided inspiration and guidance to many in his | ||
community of faith; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas | ||
Legislature hereby congratulate Monsignor Leo Wleczyk on the joyous | ||
occasion of the 50th anniversary of his ordination and extend to him | ||
sincere best wishes for continued success with his important work; | ||
