The proclamation recounts the parish’s origins in 1876, subsequent chapels and rebuilding after an 1877 fire, the donation of land for a rock chapel in 1878 now part of the Honey Creek National Register Historic District, and the parish’s continued presence on State Highway 46 West in Spring Branch. A parish representative accepted the proclamation and thanked the court "on behalf of Saint Joseph Catholic Church Parish," noting generations have baptized, married and mourned there.
The court paused for a group photo after adopting the proclamation by motion and voice vote.
