Hello. We’re glad you are here! Welcome to your weekend and thank you for spending some of it with us as we round the corner into the homestretch of April. There are Spring showers, there are race runners, and there are many moments to cherish as we sink into the last weekend of this month. The days seem to fly by faster all the time. For that reason we like to intentionally slow things down on weekend mornings with a

The Wisconsin State Legislature has adopted Senate Joint Resolution 16, officially designating May 1 as St. Joseph the Worker Day in Wisconsin. Inspired by Louisiana’s 2021 Senate Resolution 116, Wisconsin embraces the same language and spirit to honor the dignity of all working men and women, celebrating their contributions to families, communities, and the nation. For the past four years, a team in Louisiana has championed this movement for workers, rooted in the virtues of St. Joseph. In 2021, Louisiana unanimously passed the nation’s first resolution of its kind, establishing May 1 as St. Joseph the Worker Day. Wisconsin’s initial attempt last year fell short, but on April 22, 2025, they succeeded, adopting similar language through Senate Joint Resolution 16.
