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 pov-erty, Assisting people to help themselves, Nurturing support and love for Catholic institutions, Developing the Catholic faith, Learning, Spirituali-

ty, Respect, Cooperative/collaborative partnership

For the eternal rest of

the souls of John G. &

A LITTLE FAITH

Today our readings are about faith, frustration, and how

much is enough. Habakkuk is a complainer having an argu-

ment with God. Timothy is encouraging a community chal-

lenged by cowardice and the apostles want more faith than

they have. Things aren’t happening fast enough for any of

them or for us. All of them and we want God to do some-

thing sooner rather than later and we want God to give us a

reason to believe that it will all work out. What does God

do? God puts it back on them—and us—telling Habakkuk

to describe the world he wants; telling the apostles to do

more than the expected. Doing more with less is a familiar

phrase today and a reminder that a little faith may be enough

even for the most difficult times.
