H.R. No. 882 is a resolution commemorating the 75th anniversary of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church in Houston, which was founded on June 26, 1950, by Bishop Wendelin J. Nold. The church has a rich history, beginning with its initial gatherings at Kashmere Gardens Elementary School and the opening of its school five years later. The current sanctuary, built in 1965, features a distinctive roof design and has withstood significant challenges, including flood damage from Tropical Storm Allison in 2001 and Hurricane Harvey in 2017, which required extensive renovations. The congregation, originally composed of Czech and other European immigrants, has evolved into a predominantly African American community, now also including Filipino and Hispanic families, and is led by Father Martin Eke.

The resolution highlights the church's commitment to community service and fellowship, exemplified by its motto "one family, one love," and its active engagement in local civic matters, such as hosting a mayoral debate in 2023. The Texas House of Representatives expresses its best wishes for the future of St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church and acknowledges its role in providing spiritual guidance to countless residents over the years. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared as a token of high regard from the Texas House.
