Daniel P. Coughlin, STL (born November 8, 1934)[1] served as the 59th Chaplain of the United States House of Representatives from March 23, 2000, to April 14, 2011.[2] He was the first Roman Catholic priest to serve in that position,[3] and the process that led to his selection included some controversy.[4] However, as a 2010 article in The Washington Post pointed out, on the occasion of Coughlin's tenth anniversary in the House Chaplain position, "there is ample evidence that the rancor that accompanied his selection has disappeared: Last week, lawmakers from both parties streamed onto the House floor to honor his decade of service."[5]
