In Honor of Sister Catherine Dominic

IN HONOR OF SISTER CATHERINE DOMINIC -- (House of Representatives - February 26, 2004)

(Mr. BOOZMAN asked and was given permission to address the House for 1 minute and to revise and extend his remarks.)

Mr. BOOZMAN. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to honor Sister Catherine Dominic, whose life has been devoted to helping and caring for her neighbors.

Sister Catherine will be retiring from St. Mary's Hospital in Rogers, Arkansas, after more than 40 years of service. Her devotion and joyful spirit have given us all strength, and we are fortunate to have shared her friendship.

Throughout her career at St. Mary's, Sister Catherine served the hospital in a variety of roles, including administrator, anesthetist, surgery supervisor and nursing service director. As both a registered nurse and chaplain, Sister Catherine has split her time providing medical care and spiritual support to those in St. Mary's Hospital.

Mr. Speaker, our community will greatly miss Sister Catherine as she returns to the Dominican mother house in Springfield, Illinois. We are extremely grateful for her tireless efforts on our behalf.

I ask my colleagues today to join me in honoring this wonderful Dominican sister for her commitment and dedication to the Third District of Arkansas.
