- House Speaker John Boehner (R-OH) today swore in
Father Patrick J. Conroy, S.J., as the 60th chaplain of
the House of Representatives. Earlier this month,
in consultation with Democratic Leader Nancy Pelosi
(D-CA), Speaker Boehner <A
href="http://speaker.gov/Components/Redirect/r.aspx?ID=140415-2118299">announced
his intent</A> to nominate Father Conroy to succeed
Father Daniel P. Coughlin. The House confirmed the
nomination by unanimous voice vote. Speaker
Boehner made brief remarks on the House floor welcoming
and congratulating Father Conroy prior to his
swearing-in:</SPAN><SPAN

</B>“One of the most important members of the House
community is not a member of Congress. Upon its
inception, the House elected a chaplain to deliver the
opening prayer, continuing a tradition started by the
First Continental Congress. As the House has
grown, so has the role of the chaplain, who members,
officers, and staff look to for advice and
counsel.<BR><BR><B>
</B>“The chaplain also sees to the well-being of this
institution, which serves people of all faiths, and a
Nation that has always put its trust in God. Our
national motto is an echo of the 16th psalm: ‘Preserve
me, O God, for in thee do I put my trust.’ These words
are etched on the stained glass window in the prayer
room here in the
Capitol.<BR><BR><B>
</B>“In many ways, the chaplain is the anchor of the
House. So it was with regret last month that we
bid farewell to Father Dan, who retired after 11 years
of distinguished service. But always looking out
for us, Father Dan left behind one last blessing: he
recommended someone who he felt would be a worthy
successor. And, no surprise, Father was
right.
<BR><BR><B>
</B>“Father Pat Conroy comes to us from the Northwest:
he was born and raised in Washington state, and has
spent much of his priesthood in Oregon. Next
month, he will mark his 28th year as a Jesuit
priest. Father Pat also served here in our capital
city – he was a chaplain at Georgetown University for a
total of 10 years. And he has a deep appreciation
for public service – before being called into the
priesthood, Father Pat felt a calling to politics,
specifically the United States Senate. Father,
something tells me you’ll fit in fine right here.
<BR><BR><B>
</B>“I think it’s important to give the House a sense of
Father Pat’s character. This is from a letter he
wrote expressing his willingness to serve as chaplain:
‘As a Jesuit, I believe it a part of my calling to find
God in all things, and to discover the spirit of God
present in the people I encounter, and whom I
serve. I wish to say that ‘I am ready and willing’
should those to be served deem me worthy of this
ministry. Though true of any ministry, the
position would call me to a radical reliance upon the
grace of God, which would also be God’s gift.’
<BR><BR><B>
</B>“It’s clear this loyal servant of the faithful is
uniquely suited to serve as chaplain of the people’s
House. Leader Pelosi and I have gotten a chance to
know Father Pat, and we’re honored that he has accepted
our invitation to serve as chaplain. We are
blessed to have his guidance and his wisdom as we
discharge our duties and fulfill our obligations to
current and future generations of Americans.
Please join me in welcoming and congratulating the 60th
chaplain of the House of Representatives, Father Pat
Conroy.”</SPAN></I><SPAN
