R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, On May 21, 2003, the Texas House of Representatives 
is pleased to welcome the visiting delegation from the St. Anthony 
of Padua Senior Pals to the State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, The Senior Pals program was initiated in 2002 in an 
effort to unite members of the church who are over the age of 55; by 
bringing together a community of individuals who have similar

unique sense of belonging within the large St. Anthony of Padua 
parish; and
	WHEREAS, In addition to regular meetings, members of Senior 
Pals are invited to take part in various monthly trips and social 
events, one of which is this month's visit to the house chamber; and
	WHEREAS, Participating in the democratic system of 
government is truly a worthwhile undertaking, and it is a pleasure 
to welcome the members of the Senior Pals program as they embrace 
this admirable goal; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 78th Texas 
Legislature hereby honor all those associated with the Senior Pals 
program at St. Anthony of Padua in The Woodlands and extend to them 
sincere best wishes for a memorable visit to Austin.
