56 WHEREAS, The Roman Catholic Diocese of Dallas is celebrating
67 the 125th anniversary of its founding in 2015; and
78 WHEREAS, In response to the growing Catholic population in
89 Texas, Pope Leo XIII created the Diocese of Dallas in 1890; Thomas
910 Francis Brennan of Tipperary, Ireland, was appointed as the first
1011 bishop over an area that encompassed most of North and West Texas;
1112 and
1213 WHEREAS, Through the years, the Diocese of Dallas has evolved
1314 to accommodate the changing needs of its parishioners, with the
1415 establishment of such institutions as the Texas Catholic diocesan
1516 newspaper, Holy Trinity College, and St. Paul Hospital; in 1902,
1617 the Sacred Heart Cathedral was constructed when the congregation
1718 outgrew the simple wooden church that had previously served as the
1819 seat of the diocese; as the local Catholic population continued to
1920 increase, the boundaries were redrawn several times to form the
2021 Dioceses of El Paso, Amarillo, Austin, San Angelo, Fort Worth, and
2122 Tyler, and today, the Diocese of Dallas covers an area of 7,523
2223 square miles, including Collin, Dallas, Ellis, Fannin, Grayson,
2324 Hunt, Kaufman, Navarro, and Rockwall Counties, and is one of the
2425 fastest growing dioceses in the country; and
2526 WHEREAS, Since 2007, the faithful of the diocese have
2627 benefited from the wise and compassionate oversight of Bishop Kevin
2728 Joseph Farrell, who is leading an effort not only to increase parish
2829 support for families and children but also to advance work on
2930 restoration of the landmark Cathedral Shrine of the Virgin of
3031 Guadalupe; and
3132 WHEREAS, Countless Texans have looked to the Catholic Diocese
3233 of Dallas for spiritual guidance over the last 125 years, and its
3334 member parishes continue to be a positive and vital force in the
3435 communities they serve; now, therefore, be it
3536 RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 84th Texas
3637 Legislature hereby commemorate the 125th anniversary of the
3738 founding of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Dallas and extend to its
3839 parishioners and clergy sincere best wishes for the future; and, be
3940 it further
4041 RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be
4142 prepared for the diocese as an expression of high regard by the
4243 Texas House of Representatives.
