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.

CALLED BY GOD

Today’s scriptures invite us to listen to two calls. The first is the call issued by the Lord to the prophet Amos, the “shepherd and a dresser of sycamores” (Amos 7:14). The second is the call the Lord Jesus issued to the Twelve, whom he sent out “two by two” (Mark 6:7). These faithful people responded to the call, prophesying and preaching to the people to whom they had been sent. Each of us received a call when we were baptized. The second reading invites us to ponder that call as we are reminded that we are chosen in Christ and that, in love, God “destined us for adoption” (Ephesians 1:5). As adopted daughters and sons of God we are called to bring the presence of Christ into our marriages, families, schools, and places of work. Let us be inspired today to say yes to the call we hear once again through God’s living word.

TREASURES FROM OUR TRADITION

At the time of the Reformation, although England broke

away from papal authority under Henry VIII, a silent

majority clung to the Catholic faith. Henry’s eldest

daughter, Mary, restored the “old religion” in a fierce

persecution of Protestants (she is called “Bloody Mary” for

good reason.) His youngest daughter, Elizabeth, rejected

papal ties. Under her reign, beginning with legislation in

1593, Catholics were persecuted again, and only the very

wealthy could afford the fines for not attending Anglican

services on Sunday. They were called “recusants,” from a

Latin word meaning “refuse,” since they refused to attend

the liturgy of the Church of England. Many families

maintained Catholic tradition in secret, and today their

descendants claim “Recusancy” as a mark of family pride.

For generations they sent their young people abroad to be

educated in convents and monasteries. It is not surprising

that the first monastery in colonial America springs from

Holland with the daughters of patrician English recusant

families. Port Tobacco, Maryland, proved fruitful soil for

the Carmelite tradition
