Bill > H5004

This resolution expresses the Rhode Island House of Representatives' deepest condolences on the passing of the Most Reverend Louis E. Gelineau, who served as Bishop Emeritus of Providence. The resolution includes two key provisions: first, a formal acknowledgment of grief and respect for Bishop Gelineau, and second, an instruction to the Secretary of State to transmit a certified copy of the resolution to the Diocese of Providence. By passing this resolution, the House of Representatives is officially recognizing Bishop Gelineau's service and contributions, and offering a formal expression of sympathy to the religious community he served. The term "Bishop Emeritus" indicates that Gelineau had retired from active leadership of the diocese but retained an honorary title, and the resolution serves as a formal governmental recognition of his life and work.
