H.R. No. 81 is a resolution commemorating the 95th anniversary of Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church in Fort Worth, which was founded on January 19, 1929, by Father Narcissus Denis of the Josephite Fathers. Initially, masses were held in a private residence and later in a converted drugstore chapel. The church has a significant history, having served as the first Catholic school for African American children in Fort Worth and as a community center for Black Catholics. Over the years, it has grown to a multiethnic congregation and has been involved in various community programs, including music, youth, and bereavement ministries, as well as emergency aid through the Society of St. Vincent DePaul.

The resolution acknowledges the church's important role in the spiritual lives of many Fort Worth residents and honors its contributions to the community. It expresses sincere best wishes for the future of Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church as it celebrates this milestone in its rich history. The resolution was adopted by the House of Representatives of the 89th Texas Legislature on March 13, 2025.
