The resolution commemorates the 75th anniversary of St. John's Episcopal Church in Carthage, which will be celebrated on September 21, 2025. The church was founded on July 29, 1950, by Pastor John W. Fritts, initially meeting in an abandoned theater with a small group of charter members. Over the years, the congregation grew and moved to a garage apartment before constructing a sanctuary, which was dedicated in 1952. The church has since expanded to include a parish hall and an education wing, and it successfully paid off its debts by 1961. The current pastor, Jennene Laurinec, continues the legacy of dedicated leadership.

The resolution highlights the church's role in the community, noting its commitment to fostering fellowship and providing assistance to those in need. St. John's Episcopal Church has been a source of spiritual guidance for many residents of Carthage throughout its history. The Texas House of Representatives expresses its best wishes for the future of the congregation and plans to prepare an official copy of the resolution as a token of high regard for the church and its members.
