Honoring
the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine on its One Hundred
Seventy-fifth Anniversary.

WHEREAS,
The members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of Ohio are
pleased to congratulate the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine on
its One Hundred Seventy-fifth Anniversary; and

WHEREAS,
Recognition of this prestigious milestone is a fitting tribute to the
Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine, for throughout the past one
hundred seventy-five years, it has attained a praiseworthy record of
service to the Catholic Church as well as the Diocese of Cleveland.
Established in 1851 when a group of Augustine nuns traveled from
France to the United States to help care for the sick and poor, this
congregation of women quickly gained the appreciation of many for its
dedication to ministry, service, and charity, and the group has
continued to assist various underserved populations ever since; and

WHEREAS,
As the source of many healthcare, education, and social initiatives,
the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine has been involved with
numerous outreach ministries to better the lives of innumerable
people. Indeed, its successes are a justifiable source of pride and
an excellent reflection on its devoted leaders, its members, and
myriad Ohio communities; and

WHEREAS,
All those associated with the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine are
to be commended for their foresight, dedication, and selfless
donations of time, energy, and ability far beyond what was required
or expected. These fine individuals have earned the respect and
admiration of many, and their altruistic efforts and commitment to
helping the less fortunate are sure to inspire others to devote
themselves similarly; therefore be it

RESOLVED,
That we, the members of the Senate of the 136th General Assembly of
Ohio, in adopting this Resolution, salute the Sisters of Charity of
St. Augustine on its One Hundred Seventy-fifth Anniversary and extend
best wishes for perennial good fortune; and be it further

RESOLVED,
That the Clerk of the Senate transmit a duly authenticated copy of
this Resolution to the Sisters of Charity of St. Augustine.
