	R E S O L U T I O N
	WHEREAS, Members of the Texas Catholic Conference are
	gathering in Austin on March 24, 2015, to celebrate Catholic Faith
	in Action Advocacy Day at the State Capitol; and
	WHEREAS, TCC works to foster cooperation and communication
	among the dioceses and the ministries of the Catholic Church of
	Texas, and it acts as the public policy voice of the bishops of
	Texas, who serve more than 7 million Catholic people and 15 dioceses
	statewide; and
	WHEREAS, Texans from all walks of life significantly benefit
	from the service of the Catholic Charities ministries and the
	parish-based social ministries located across the state; and
	WHEREAS, Dedicated to the importance of the family, Catholic
	life ministries help strengthen and nurture relationships by
	offering marriage preparation and education to engaged couples and
	marriage enrichment programs; in addition, the Respect Life program
	provides a range of services to women facing crisis pregnancies as
	well as assistance to needy families; and
	WHEREAS, An invaluable source of education, Catholic schools
	employ curricula based on faith to instruct over 80,000 Texas
	students in moral development, stewardship, altruism, and
	leadership; Catholic religious education programs also enhance the
	lives of some 384,000 children and their families; and
	WHEREAS, Catholic chaplains generously volunteer their time
	to offer pastoral care and guidance to scores of individuals
	incarcerated in our prisons and jails; and
	WHEREAS, Promoting the values of life, justice, charity, and
	religious freedom, the Catholic Faith in Action Advocacy Day
	encourages Catholics to help build a better world by becoming more
	informed and engaged citizens; now, therefore, be it
	RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
	Legislature hereby recognize March 24, 2015, as Catholic Faith in
	Action Advocacy Day and extend to all participants sincere best
	wishes for a meaningful and memorable event; and, be it further
	RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
	prepared for the Texas Catholic Conference as an expression of high
	regard by the Texas House of Representatives.
