The University of Texas at Austin is home to our Longhorn LULAC chapter where we plan events, meetings, and study. Our perseverance to become a meaningful chapter to the city of Austin has been based on the need for mentors in underprivileged high schools, the rights of citizens here at home and across the nation, and the need for cultural expansion. As a Latin American organization, it is our duty to represent the Latino community in every step we take, on the road to the white house or on the way to class. We are students of different backgrounds with different interests and one common goal; to better the Latino community.
Before every meeting we always start with our LULAC Prayer:
“Almighty God, who has given us this good land for our heritage, we humbly beseech Thee that we may prove ourselves a people mindful of Thy favor and glad to do Thy will. Bless our land with honorable industry, sound learning and pure manners. Save us from violence, discord and confusion, from pride and arrogance, and from every evil way. Defend our liberties and fashion into one united people the multitudes brought hither out of many kindred and tongues. Imbue with the spirit of wisdom those to whom in Thy name we entrust the authority of government, that there may be justice and peace at home, and that, through obedience to Thy land, we may show forth Thy praise among the nations of the earth. In the time of prosperity fill our hearts with thankfulness; in the day of trouble suffer not our trust in Thee to fail; all of which we ask through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.”
