R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Father Walter E. Ebarb and the parishioners of St. 
Patrick's Catholic Church in San Antonio are holding their annual 
Fall Festival on October 5, 2003; and
	WHEREAS, This much-anticipated event offers visitors an 
array of tempting food booths, arts and crafts, games and rides, 
chances for raffle prizes, and music by a number of popular 
performers throughout the day's festivities; and
	WHEREAS, Proceeds from the church's biggest fundraiser of the 
year help provide for the maintenance and upkeep of the church as 
well as funding programs that benefit members of the church and the 
wider community; among the numerous programs and charitable efforts 
for which St. Patrick's clergy and laity have long been known are 
parenting classes, food and clothing for the needy, and the use of 
church facilities for meetings of community organizations; and
	WHEREAS, St. Patrick's Catholic Church has long been a source 
of comfort and hope for countless Texans, and through the funds 
generated by its Fall Festival, it is able to continue providing 
practical assistance to many of its parishioners and neighbors; 
now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature, 3rd Called Session, hereby recognize October 5, 2003, 
as St. Patrick's Catholic Church Fall Festival Day and that all 
those involved be extended heartfelt best wishes for a memorable 
and successful event; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be 
prepared for the church as an expression of high regard by the Texas 
House of Representatives.
