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.
The John G. and Marie Stella Kenedy Memorial Foundation
Sarita Kenedy East established the foundation in 1960 to support and fund Catholic educational, charitable, and religious activities in Texas, primarily
in the region of the Diocese of Corpus Christi (as that entity then existed).
The mission of the Foundation is to nurture and advance activities which
contribute to the following core values: Helping break the cycle of poverty, Assisting people to help themselves, Nurturing support and love for
Catholic institutions, Developing the Catholic faith, Learning, Spirituality, Respect, Cooperative/collaborative partnership

KEEP HOLY THE SABBATH
There’s no better way to deepen our Lenten practice than to review the Ten Commandments. The first three, having to do with our right relationship to God, get the most ink. The one we busy people probably have the most problem with is keeping holy the Sabbath.
If we take this commandment literally, babies will go undiapered and dishes will stay on the table, or perhaps meals will not be served. The sick will go unattended and nothing that has anything to do with physical labor will be done. Is mental labor really work? How about changing that dirty diaper (poor baby!)?
We need to depend on God to discern how to observe real Sabbath time in our lives. The point of this commandment is that God has given us a great gift: one whole day per week when we are free to rest, worship God, sing, feast, love, and rejoice. As Psalm 19 proclaims: “The law of the Lord is perfect, / refreshing the soul” (19:8). Our Sabbath rest is a great gift, to be received from God with joy, not with nitpicking.
