Whereas the clergy spouse has accepted the challenge to work 
alongside God’s ambassador as the spouse carries out the 
assigned mission of educating and equipping the commu-

standards; 
Whereas the nature of the service provided by the clergy and 
their spouses is unique, as they are entrusted with the 
spiritual well-being of the flock, thereby creating a posi-
tive impact on their respective communities; 
Whereas the dedication and sacrifice provided by the clergy 
spouses to improve the quality of life for their community 
is immeasurable; 
Whereas a day in recognition of the contributions of the cler-
gy spouses would highlight their dedication by increasing 
awareness of the many service programs organized and 
executed by the more than 200,000 clergy spouses in the 
United States; and 
Whereas the third Sunday in October would be an appro-
priate date to designate as Clergy Spouse Appreciation 
Day: Now, therefore, be it 
Resolved, That the House of Representatives supports 
the designation of Clergy Spouse Appreciation Day.
