Statement

U.S. Rep. Blaine Luetkemeyer (MO-03) issued the following statement after Pope Francis addressed the United States Congress:

"Today marks an incredibly historic day as Pope Francis is the first Pope to ever address Congress. As a lifelong member of the Catholic Church, I was honored to sit in the House chamber as Pope Francis spoke about the importance of family and our shared goal of putting people first so everyone has an opportunity to get ahead. I have great faith that the Holy Father will continue to spread his message of peace and hope all over the world and he will lead our worldwide community forward as we confront new challenges in a continuously changing world."
