---|
6 | 7 | | San Antonio passed away on January 9, 2017, at the age of 87, |

8 | 9 | | church and as a champion for social justice; and |
---|
9 | 10 | | WHEREAS, Born on July 26, 1929, in Ganado to Patricio Flores |
---|
10 | 11 | | and Trinidad Fernandez de Flores, Archbishop Flores grew up in |
---|
11 | 12 | | Pearland; in his teens, he joined the fight for education equality |
---|
12 | 13 | | by organizing community fund-raisers, which eventually helped |
---|
13 | 14 | | secure the legal victory that allowed Mexican American children to |
---|
14 | 15 | | attend the local public school; and |
---|
15 | 16 | | WHEREAS, Ordained to the priesthood on May 26, 1956, Patricio |

---|

---|
18 | 19 | | Guardian Angel Parish, and as pastor of St. Joseph-St. Stephen |
---|
19 | 20 | | Parish; in 1970, he was consecrated as the first Mexican American |
---|
20 | 21 | | bishop in the United States; eight years later, he began a brief |
---|
21 | 22 | | tenure as prelate of the Diocese of El Paso, and in 1979 he was |
---|
22 | 23 | | appointed archbishop of San Antonio; and |
---|
23 | 24 | | WHEREAS, Presiding over the Archdiocese of San Antonio for |
---|
24 | 25 | | more than two decades, Archbishop Flores dedicated much of his |
---|
25 | 26 | | energies to issues affecting indigent women and children, the |
---|
26 | 27 | | elderly, and the infirm, and he remained a fervent advocate for the |
---|
27 | 28 | | rights of farmworkers; in 1987, he had the honor of welcoming Pope |
---|
28 | 29 | | John Paul II to the San Antonio Archdiocese, where the pontiff |
---|
29 | 30 | | celebrated a mass that was attended by some 330,000 people; and |
---|
30 | 31 | | WHEREAS, A member of the Migration and Refugee Services |
---|
31 | 32 | | Department of the U.S. Catholic Conference, Archbishop Flores also |
---|
32 | 33 | | chaired the Church in Latin America Committee of the National |
---|
33 | 34 | | Conference of Catholic Bishops and the Texas Advisory Committee to |
---|
34 | 35 | | the U.S. Commission on Civil Rights; he took pride in his heritage |
---|
35 | 36 | | and encouraged other Latinos to become agents of change in their |
---|
36 | 37 | | communities; in 1986, he received the Hispanic Heritage Award for |
---|
37 | 38 | | leadership; and |
---|
38 | 39 | | WHEREAS, Profoundly devoted to his faith and to the cause of |
---|
39 | 40 | | social justice, Archbishop Patricio Flores touched the lives of |
---|
40 | 41 | | countless individuals in ways beyond measure, and his |
---|
41 | 42 | | compassionate, selfless service to the world will be remembered far |
---|
42 | 43 | | and wide with deepest appreciation; now, therefore, be it |
---|
43 | 44 | | RESOLVED, That the House of Representatives of the 85th Texas |
---|
44 | 45 | | Legislature hereby pay tribute to the memory of Archbishop Patricio |
---|
45 | 46 | | Fernandez Flores and extend deepest sympathy to all those who mourn |
---|
46 | 47 | | his passing; and, be it further |
---|
47 | 48 | | RESOLVED, That an official copy of this resolution be |
