A RESOLUTION
Honoring Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish
on its Centennial.
WHEREAS, The members of the House of Representatives of the 135th 1
General Assembly of Ohio are pleased to congratulate Our Lady of Mt. 2
Carmel Parish on its One Hundredth Anniversary; and 3
WHEREAS, Since its first Mass was celebrated in 1923, Our Lady of 4
Mt. Carmel Parish has offered its members the pathway to a more 5
meaningful life by illuminating and demonstrating the precepts on 6
which the church was founded. Using the original structure until a new 7
building was completed at its present site in 1955, the church has 8
since added a school, a convent, and a community center. The spirit of 9
love and Christian fellowship that exists within the church also 10
extends beyond those sacred walls to touch the lives of everyone 11
encountered by these devout disciples; and 12
WHEREAS, Under the capable leadership of its pastor, Father 13
Michael Troha, and his predecessors, Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish has 14
experienced continual growth and has provided a source of moral 15
guidance and spiritual motivation for its congregation. Over the 16
years, the church has enhanced the quality of life within the 17
surrounding area, and through its generous efforts, it has earned the 18
gratitude and respect of the many citizens it has so capably served; 19
and 20
WHEREAS, An occasion such as this is an important milestone that 21
represents dedication and commitment. For a century, the members of 22
Our Lady of Mt. Carmel Parish have kept their faith alive in the 23
Wickliffe community, and on this special anniversary, they have 24
accepted the challenge of carrying their beliefs into the future; 25
therefore be it 26
