Commemorating the 95th anniversary of Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church in Fort Worth.

HR 81 is a ceremonial resolution passed by the Texas House of Representatives to formally commemorate the 95th anniversary of Our Mother of Mercy Catholic Church in Fort Worth. It recognizes the church's founding in 1929, its role as Tarrant County's only African American Catholic parish, and its historical significance as a community center and Catholic school for Black residents. The resolution does not create new laws or policies; it is a symbolic gesture of recognition by the Texas Legislature, extending "sincere best wishes" to the church community. This is a standard commemorative resolution with no direct impact on legislation or constituents.
