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 and later in a garage apartment before constructing a dedicated sanctuary in 1951. Over the years, the church has expanded its facilities and has been led by various dedicated clergy, including the current pastor, Jennene Laurinec. The congregation has developed numerous programs that promote fellowship and provide assistance to those in need, becoming a significant source of spiritual guidance for many residents of Carthage.

The Texas House of Representatives expresses its best wishes to the members of St. John's Episcopal Church as they celebrate this milestone in their history. The resolution serves as an official acknowledgment of the church's contributions to the community and is intended to convey the high regard of the Texas House for the congregation. An official copy of the resolution will be prepared for the church as a token of this recognition.
