2	8		WHEREAS, The Senate of the State of Texas is pleased to
3	9		recognize Trinity Episcopal Church in Pharr on the grand occasion
4	10		of its 100th anniversary; and
5	11		WHEREAS, Trinity Episcopal Church was established in 1925
6	12		and held its first worship service at the Pharr City Hall under
7	13		the direction of Rev. R. O. MacIntosh; the church building was
8	14		constructed in 1927, and that same year, Rev. Samuel Capers
9	15		assumed leadership of the parish; and
10	16		WHEREAS, The church's longest serving rector, W. W.
11	17		Stewart, began guiding the church in March of 1939; during his
12	18		four decades of service, the church constructed a children's
13	19		chapel, and Gothic-style stained glass windows were installed in
14	20		the sanctuary and are still displayed and treasured today; and
15	21		WHEREAS, Trinity Episcopal Church has undertaken many
16	22		worthy projects that have benefited the community, including
17	23		creating the Pharr Emergency Food Pantry in 1978, which inspired
18	24		the establishment of the Food Bank of the Rio Grande Valley; and
19	25		WHEREAS, Over the past century, Trinity Episcopal Church
20	26		has been a spiritual refuge for innumerable Christians, and it
21	27		upholds its enduring mission of service through the leadership of
22	28		Rev. Canon Sharon Alexander, the church's first woman rector; it
23	29		is truly fitting that the church receive special recognition on
24	30		reaching this remarkable milestone in its history; now,
25	31		therefore, be it
26	32		RESOLVED, That the Senate of the State of Texas, 89th
27	33		Legislature, hereby extend best wishes to the clergy and
28	34		congregants of Trinity Episcopal Church on the joyous occasion of
29	35		its 100th anniversary; and, be it further
30	36		RESOLVED, That a copy of this Resolution be prepared for
31	37		the church as an expression of esteem from the Texas Senate.
