H.C.R. No. 12
 
 
 
HOUSE CONCURRENT RESOLUTION
         WHEREAS, On November 7, 2021, the members of St. Ann's
  Catholic Church in Midland are celebrating the 125th anniversary of
  the parish's founding, and this significant milestone is indeed
  deserving of special recognition; and
         WHEREAS, The church's history dates back to 1896, when the
  cornerstone for a mission was laid at 417 East Texas Avenue and
  dedicated in honor of St. Ann; in 1933, the parish was renamed
  St. George's Catholic Church after its benefactor, Monsignor
  George O'Brien, but the original name was restored when the church
  moved to West Texas Avenue in 1948; and
         WHEREAS, Over the years, the congregation grew, and a new
  sanctuary was built in 1959; constructed in the shape of a cross,
  the building features marble altars and hand-carved wooden statues,
  which were imported from Italy; in addition, figures of St. Ann and
  the Blessed Virgin stand outside, and a shrine of the church's
  patron saint greets parishioners at the entrance; and
         WHEREAS, The members of this notable house of worship have
  established a variety of commendable ministries and initiatives
  that foster fellowship, offer help to those in need, and benefit the
  community; moreover, in 1950, the church founded St. Ann's School,
  which today provides an education for approximately 400 children
  from preschool to eighth grade; and
         WHEREAS, Throughout its distinguished history, St. Ann's
  Catholic Church has served as a source of inspiration,
  encouragement, and guidance to those who worship there, and its
  continued existence is a testament to the unwavering commitment of
  its members and clergy, both past and present; now, therefore, be it
         RESOLVED, That the 87th Legislature of the State of Texas,
  2nd Called Session, hereby commemorate the 125th anniversary of
  St. Ann's Catholic Church and extend to its congregation sincere
  best wishes for the future; 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 and Senate.
