A RESOLUTION
Honoring St. Peter Catholic Church on its
Sesquicentennial.
WHEREAS, The members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly 1
of Ohio are pleased to extend special recognition to St. Peter 2
Catholic Church on the hallowed occasion of its One Hundred Fiftieth 3
Anniversary; and 4
WHEREAS, Since its inception, St. Peter Catholic Church has 5
offered its congregation the pathway to a more meaningful life by 6
illuminating and demonstrating the precepts on which the church was 7
founded. The spirit of love and Christian fellowship that exists among 8
the parishioners not only prevails within the church edifice itself 9
but also extends beyond those sacred walls to touch the lives of 10
everyone encountered by these devout disciples; and 11
WHEREAS, Under the capable leadership of its pastor, the Reverend 12
Bob Franco, and his predecessors, St. Peter Catholic Church has 13
experienced continual growth and has provided a source of moral 14
guidance and spiritual motivation for each of its members. Over the 15
years, the church has enhanced the quality of life within North 16
Ridgeville and the surrounding area, and through its generous efforts, 17
it has earned the gratitude and respect of the many citizens it has so 18
capably served; and 19
WHEREAS, An occasion such as this is an important milestone which 20
represents dedication and commitment. For a century and a half, the 21
members of St. Peter Catholic Church have kept their faith alive in 22
the community, and on this special anniversary, the congregation has 23
accepted the challenge of carrying its beliefs into the future; 24
therefore be it 25
