A BRIEF HISTORY OF OUR LADY STAR OF THE SEA CHURCH

Dedicated in 1882, St. Patrick’s Cathedral located on the plot of land on North Carancahua now occupied by the American Bank

Plaza, became the Cathedral of the Diocese of Corpus Christi when the Diocese was formed in 1912. Leading contributors to

the church were Captain Miflin Kenedy, who donated land, money, and pews. Mrs. Kenedy, who donated the sanctuary

windows, and the wife of then Corpus Christi Mayor J. B. Murphy, gave the statues. The ladies of the Altar Society gave the

main altar. Various parishioners, in memory of their deceased family members, donated the other stained glass windows. As

the Diocese grew, a new cathedral was planned and was dedicated in 1940. St. Patrick’s continued to have daily Mass for the

children of Incarnate Word Academy then located nearby. In 1951, after it caught fire, the church was dismantled and the

sanctuary and main part of the nave were moved to the present location to serve the newly created “Our Lady Star of the Sea”

parish. The altar, statues and stained glass windows were saved and reinstalled in the little church. Thus a portion of the old St.

Patrick’s Cathedral remains standing, a memorial to the pioneers of Corpus Christi. Over the years, the parish has grown to

include families from all parts of Corpus Christi, Portland, Gregory, Taft, Aransas Pass and Ingleside who seek a small “country

church” atmosphere of worship and fellowship. In addition, our parishioners represent a broad cross-section of cultures and

backgrounds from various parts of the United States and a number of foreign countries.

There Will Be A Second Collection Next Weekend

Retired Diocesan Priest’s Fund

In today’s Gospel we hear of that mysterious meeting Jesus’ disciples had with him on the shore of the Lake of Tiberius.

Jesus invited them to have breakfast with him. He took the bread and gave it to them, and the same with the fish. None

of the disciples were bold enough to ask: “Who are you?” They realized it was the risen Lord. Those who practice good

stewardship of their life of faith are touched by joy and moved by deep awe when encountering Christ in the celebration

of the Eucharist. How do you experience the mysterious presence of Jesus in the Eucharist? Do you recognize his pres-

ence? Do you hear the Lord’s invitation to draw nearer? Do you experience a closeness, or a reserve? A familiarity, or

a distance? Retrieved from: catholicstewardship.com

We Are Glad You Joined Us This Weekend There is much to digest (literally) in today’s Gospel Reading from St.

John. It reports the third time that Jesus appeared to His Apostles.

The Lord appears on the shore of the Sea of Tiberius, which is another

name by which the Sea of Galilee is known. It is early in the morning,

and Peter and the others had been fishing unsuccessfully, and

obviously were near to the shore, but at Jesus’ urging they cast their

nets again and caught many fish, which they then brought to shore.

According to the Gospel Jesus had breakfast with them, and then He

poses the question to Peter specifically, “Do you love me?” The

exchange between the Lord and Peter is carefully narrated, as are

Jesus’ responses. However, at the end of the Gospel Reading for today,

Jesus says two simple words to Peter, “Follow Me.” Of course, these

are the same two words with which we are familiar that Jesus used to

call Peter and the others in the beginning.

We need to understand that these instructions from Jesus are not just for the Apostles but for us as well. How have we

responded to that call? Our reaction does not have to be as dramatic as Peter’s and the others, who abandoned their

lives and their livelihood and became total followers of Christ. However, we, too, need to find the strength and the

commitment to follow the Lord. How we carry that out is our stewardship, how we live our lives.

Sunday’s readings:

Acts 5: 27-32, 40-41: Better for us to obey God than human beings.

Rev 5: 11-14: You could not count those who sang out in praise of God.

Jn 21: 1-19: If you love me, feed my sheep.

The Easter Season is actually from Easter Sunday to Pentecost — 50 days! It is celebrated in joyful exultation as one feast day, or better, as one “great Sunday”. These above all others are the days for the singing of the Alleluia.

CHRIST 101: A Complete Guide to Defending the Christian Faith Using Reason and Evidence will be facilitated by

Richard and Linda Reinhart on Wednesdays at 7:00 p.m. in the parish hall. This is a semester long, multimedia

course specifically designed to defend traditional “old-school” Orthodox Christianity to the modern secular

world. For more information, visit the OLSS website or call Richard at 361-774-9102.

Online Giving Available! We are excited to announce that Our Lady Star of the Sea now accepts one-time and recurring

donations conveniently from our website. You can make your secure donation via electronic check or debit/credit card by

simply visiting olsscc.org and clicking on the quick link “GIVING/DONATION” at the top of the page.

Please be careful when walking in front of the church. Causeway Blvd. runs directly in front of the church and blends with the parking lot. An unsuspecting parishioner could be walking in front of the church and not realize that motorists are driving along the road.
