The House Resolution commemorates the celebration of St. Joseph's Day, recognizing Saint Joseph as the Holy Patriarch and Patron Saint of Workers. It highlights his qualities of quiet courage, deep faith, and enduring strength as a family patriarch during challenging times. The resolution notes that Saint Joseph is celebrated globally, particularly by Italian-Americans, who honor his legacy of family solidarity, humility, and hard work. The Feast of Saint Joseph, observed on March 19th, serves as a reminder for individuals to emulate his virtues and the miracles attributed to him, such as the prevention of a Sicilian famine.

Furthermore, the resolution acknowledges the significant contributions of Italian immigrants to Rhode Island's cultural foundation and their ongoing celebration of St. Joseph's values through songs and traditions that emphasize inclusion, faith, sacrifice, and the dignity of labor. The House of Representatives officially commemorates this feast and the principles embodied by Saint Joseph, directing the Secretary of State to transmit a certified copy of the resolution to the Italian American Historical Society of Rhode Island.

Introduced by Representatives Costantino, Shekarchi, Blazejewski, Azzinaro, and Corvese on March 18, the resolution has been read and passed in the House.
