AI Summary

This joint resolution recognizes May 1 of each year as St. Joseph the Worker Day in Wisconsin, offering a detailed theological and historical context about St. Joseph's significance in Catholic tradition. The resolution highlights Pope Francis's description of St. Joseph as a beloved, loving, and working father who was entrusted with caring for Jesus Christ and Mary. It recounts biblical references to Joseph's righteousness, including his role as a carpenter who provided for his family, protected Jesus from King Herod's massacre, and followed divine guidance through dreams. The resolution also references historical papal declarations, such as Pope Pius IX proclaiming Joseph as Patron of the Universal Church in 1870 and Pope Pius XII establishing the Feast of St. Joseph the Worker on May 1 in 1955. Additionally, the resolution notes Pope Francis's 2021 expansion of Joseph's titles, including guardian of the redeemer and patron of the poor. Ultimately, the resolution aims to recognize St. Joseph's spiritual importance and honor the dignity of workers in Wisconsin by commemorating this day.
