A RESOLUTION TO RECOGNIZE MARCH 17, 2024, AS SAINT PATRICK’S DAY


WHEREAS, On March 17th, Irish Americans join with men, women, and children of all different ethnicities who, for one day, become Irish and celebrate the Feast of Saint Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland; and

WHEREAS, On Saint Patrick’s Day, all who wear green live in the spirit of Saints Patrick, Brigid, and Colmcille; and

WHEREAS, Irish immigrants helped form the United States’ cultural foundation. Today, those of Irish lineage proudly sing support for Ireland; and

WHEREAS, The songs of Ireland are the tragic songs of love, the joyous songs of battle, the nostalgic reveries of the sorrows, the glories of the Emerald Isle, the lamentations of life’s myriad travails, and the odes to joy and life eternal; and

WHEREAS, We celebrate the establishment of the American Irish State Legislators Caucus with its aim of fostering the longstanding and equally beneficial relationship between the United States and Ireland, with leadership in all 50 states; now, therefore, be it

RESOLVED BY THE SENATE, That the members of this legislative body recognize March 17, 2024, as Saint Patrick’s Day. We commemorate the celebration of the Feast of St. Patrick, the Patron Saint of Ireland.

Adopted by the Senate, March 14, 2024.
