WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to | ||
recognize Sacred Heart Church in Brownsville on the occasion of | ||
its 100th anniversary; and | ||
WHEREAS, Sacred Heart Church was dedicated on April 20, | ||
1913; it was established as an outgrowth of Immaculate Conception | ||
Church to serve the English-speaking Catholic community of | ||
Brownsville, and it has been served by the Oblates of Mary | ||
Immaculate with dedication, diligence, and perseverance since | ||
its founding; and | ||
WHEREAS, From humble beginnings, the church grew in size | ||
and splendor and undertook numerous projects and ministries to | ||
serve the people of the area, including the creation of a school; | ||
over the years it was enhanced with impressive statuary and | ||
magnificent stained glass windows, and when changing growth | ||
patterns led to the need for a new parish in northern | ||
Brownsville, Sacred Heart Church became a chapel of the | ||
Immaculate Conception Cathedral; and | ||
WHEREAS, This historic church has through the years served | ||
the needs of countless people; and | ||
WHEREAS, The celebration of the church's 100th anniversary | ||
is a reflection of the enduring commitment of the Oblates of Mary | ||
Immaculate to provide enlightenment and hope to the people of the | ||
Rio Grande Valley; now, therefore, be it | ||
RESOLVED, | ||
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for | ||
the church as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. | ||
