LOUIS BIHR ______ HON. WILLIAM J. MARTINI of new jersey in the house of representatives Monday, October 21, 1996 Mr. MARTINI. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to pay tribute to a real American hero. I am talking of Msgr. Louis Bihr, pastor of Immaculate Heart of Mary Church in Wayne, NJ. Mr. Speaker, Monsignor Bihr (``Father Lou'') has devoted over 25 years of his life to preaching god's word. Known for his devotion to mass, prayer, love and kindness, Father Lou has served at Blessed Sacrament Parish, t. Joseph's Parish, St. Boniface Parish and St. Gerald's Church. Mr. Speaker, he has been cherished by countless numbers of individuals in the religious world. Apart from his preaching in the church, Mr. Speaker, he has continued to spread the word of God in surrounding communities. He moved from director of the Diocesan Youth Department/CYO to the elected position of assistant chairman of region II of the National CYO Federation. He led the development of a diocesanwide high school retreat. He brought Youth Haven, a shelter for runaway teenagers, to the community. Finally, Father Lou initiated the opening of a children's day care center, El Mundo del Nino. Mr. Speaker, Msgr. Louis Bihr has been chosen as ``Man of the Year'' by St. Gerald's Church. He is also man of the year in my eyes. I ask that we all acknowledge the work and life of this man. He has fought for the good of our country, our hearts, and our souls. ____________________
