Welcome to the "Angel of Goliad Descendants Historical Preservation" website.

Our mission is to research and preserve the memory of the incredible lady that will be remembered forever for her kindness and merciful heart,  that saved many lives and comforted many others. She has been recognized by many as a real Mexican heroine of the Texas Revolution.

Although little is known about the life of Francisca Alvarez, we encourage you to  look through these pages and see the information we have gathered about her and  her descendants.

A PRAYER FOR NUESTRA ANGELITA DE GOLIAD

"Our Heavenly Father we give thee thanks for having blessed Francisca "Panchita" Alvarez and her descendants. We thank you for the many freedoms we enjoy and the legacy that is ours.

You have brought us this far and we still look up to thee for guidance and direction.

Again for those who were spared by Panchita's efforts and their descendants, we are grateful for their contributions to this great state and nation. Only you can make something good out of a tragic event.

As we live "un dia a la vez" help us to recognize your presence in all that we do. May we continue to love one another as you have commanded.

Amen"
