House Concurrent Resolution No. 134 commemorates the dedication of St. Rita of Cascia Catholic Church in Greenwood, which took place on March 16, 2024, officiated by Bishop Michael J. Sis of the Diocese of San Angelo. The establishment of the Greenwood Catholic Community was initiated in 2018, with services initially held at Greenwood Elementary School's auditorium. In 2020, Bishop Sis named the church after Saint Rita of Cascia, who is known as the patron saint of impossible causes. The church has been a mission of San Miguel Arcangel Parish in Midland, with community members actively participating in fundraising and construction efforts for their new building.
The resolution highlights the dedication and perseverance of the St. Rita of Cascia community, which successfully acquired a six-acre property and broke ground for the church on September 17, 2022. The completion of the church is seen as a testament to the community's vision and commitment to their faith. The Texas Legislature extends its best wishes to the clergy and parishioners for the future and expresses high regard for the church by preparing an official copy of the resolution for them.
