SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 528
|
|
|
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to |
|
|
recognize Mary Help of Christians School in Laredo on the grand |
|
|
occasion of its 90th anniversary; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, In 1935 a group of Salesian Sisters of Saint John |
|
|
Bosco fled violence and persecution in Mexico and found a |
|
|
permanent home for their order in the City of Laredo, where they |
|
|
opened a school on Houston Street; the school opened with six |
|
|
pupils, and it quickly grew to serve more students in neighboring |
|
|
parishes before it moved into its current location on Del Mar |
|
|
Boulevard in 1963; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Accredited by the Texas Education Agency, Mary |
|
|
Help of Christians School now serves more than 430 students and |
|
|
maintains a reputation for educational excellence in Laredo; |
|
|
successful fund-raising efforts over the years have resulted in |
|
|
the addition of classrooms as well as expansion of valuable |
|
|
educational resources that ensures the school's ability to |
|
|
provide an enriching environment for learning and spiritual |
|
|
development for many years to come; and |
|
|
WHEREAS, Mary Help of Christians School faithfully honors |
|
|
Saint John Bosco's mission to empower youth with a joyful vision |
|
|
and hope for a better world while preparing them to become |
|
|
well-educated, productive citizens with a global perspective; |
|
|
all who contribute to its success are truly deserving of |
|
|
recognition for their commitment to upholding the quality and |
|
|
presence of this highly respected, historic Catholic institution |
|
|
in Laredo; now, therefore, be it |
|
|
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th |
|
|
Legislature, hereby commend the administrators, educators, and |
|
|
staff of Mary Help of Christians School in Laredo and extend to |
|
|
them congratulations on 90 years of success and best wishes for |
|
|
the future; and, be it further |
|
|
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for |
|
|
the school as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate. |
