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.

Mass Intentions

One of the greatest acts of charity is to pray for the living and the dead,

and the greatest and most powerful prayer we have is the Mass, since

the fruits of the Mass are the very fruits of Jesus' redemption. For that

reason, all are encouraged to have Mass offered for loved ones who

have died, or even for the living who have some need. This is an an-

cient Christian practice, and all are encouraged to take it up.

Guidelines for Mass Intentions A Mass intention may be set for:

A deceased loved one

A living person who is sick or suffering

A living person who is celebrating a birthday, anniversary or other

special moment in their life

In thanksgiving to God (including the Lord Jesus or the Holy Spir-

it)

In thanksgiving for a prayer from a Blessed or a Saint

For a prayer intention (so long as the intention does not contradict

Church teaching)

THANK YOU FOR JOINING US HERE THIS WEEKEND. TODAY’S READINGS

First Reading — Elijah looked and there at his head was a hearth

cake and a jug of water (1 Kings 19:4-8).

in love (Ephesians 4:30 — 5:2).

STRENGTHENED BY THE BREAD OF LIFE

Today we resume the “Bread of Life” discourse from John’s Gospel that began two weeks ago. He makes reference to the Jews’ ancestors who ate manna in the desert. These days we would think primarily of Israel wandering in the desert, but faithful Jews would also have known the story of Elijah that we hear today. Strength-ened by food and drink in the desert, the angel of the Lord sends him on his forty-day and forty-night journey (the biblical number for a preparation time). Like the food given to Elijah in the desert, Jesus tells his listeners that he is bread for the life of the world. It is very important that we not stop listening to Jesus after his promise of eternal life—a marvelous promise, but this “reward” is not the only reason we feast on the Bread of Life. We also come to the table to be made strong for the journey of mission, that the whole world might have life in the fullness of Christ. We are compelled, if we have eaten of the bread of life, to go forth in service to all.
