Mr. HERN of Oklahoma. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to congratulate Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church on its centennial anniversary.
Established in 1925, this parish has served Tulsa and the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America for a century. The Church continues to be a strong and dedicated partner in the Tulsa community.
This impressive anniversary highlights the congregation's devotion to the greater Tulsa community, as well as their unwavering faith in God and commitment to His will. One hundred years of service is an extraordinary accomplishment.
The rich traditions of the Orthodox Church extend back to the earliest days of Christianity, established in the lands surrounding the Mediterranean, where the first Christian communities lived and worshipped. These traditions have survived millennia, connecting the modern Orthodox Church to the earliest practitioners of our faith and welcoming congregants of all races and cultures.
Congratulations to Holy Trinity Greek Orthodox Church of Tulsa for reaching this significant milestone. I join the congregation and Tulsa community-at-large in celebrating this centennial anniversary, and I sincerely wish the Church sustained success and prosperity for years to come.
