SENATE RESOLUTION NO. 573
WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
recognize the Parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help in San Antonio
on the grand occasion of its centennial anniversary, which is
being celebrated in 2013; and
WHEREAS, The Parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help was
founded by the Reverend John Muehlsiepen on April 13, 1913; and
WHEREAS, Over the years, the parish has served the
spiritual needs of innumerable Catholics; and
WHEREAS, The current church building was built in 1963,
when the original church building had become too small to
accommodate its flock of over 400 families; and
WHEREAS, Due to the guidance and wise stewardship of its
leaders, the congregation has undertaken many worthy projects
with the community; and
WHEREAS, The Parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help has
become an invaluable source of strength for its members during
times of hardship and bereavement, and it has shared in many
celebrations during times of abundance and joy; and
WHEREAS, In addition to offering daily and Sunday Mass, Our
Lady of Perpetual Help has a food pantry to feed the hungry and
serves the needs of parishioners and residents of the east side
of San Antonio with various events and activities throughout the
year; the celebration of its 100th anniversary is indeed a joyous
event worthy of recognition; now, therefore, be it
RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas,
83rd Legislature, hereby extend best wishes to the clergy and
members of the Parish of Our Lady of Perpetual Help on the joyous
occasion of its 100th anniversary; and, be it further
RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared to
