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.

IN NEED OF A SHEPHERD
For a while it was very fashionable to own pigs as pets. The publicity surrounding these creatures informed us that they were—contrary to their popular image—very clean animals, and also quite smart. Sad to say, sheep will most likely never enjoy this sort of domestic vogue. They are nei-ther clean nor smart and are largely defenseless when left on their own, even in large numbers. The biblical image of us as the flock of sheep is not a particularly flattering one. Sheep without a shepherd are truly sad, because they most likely will perish either from their inability to fend for them-selves or from their lack of defenses against predators. Plac-ing ourselves in the heart of this unflattering image can rein-force our faith. Until we come to a profound realization of how much we need a shepherd, we cannot appreciate how deeply blessed we are to have been given a Shepherd, one who laid down his life for us and was raised to life eternal in the Spirit, so he might guide us and we might follow him in faith forever.
