First news, then upcoming events

Vatican Affirms Church Teaching On Nutrition And Hydration For Individuals In ‘Vegetative State’
"The [U.S.] bishops also asked for clarification as to whether nutrition and hydration could be removed if physicians determined that the patient would never recover consciousness. The [Vatican's] Congregation [for the Doctrine of the Faith] affirmed that the patient must receive “ordinary and proportionate care which includes, in principle, the administration of water and food even by artificial means” regardless of the prognosis of recovery of consciousness."

Annual Vocations Picnic was held August 30th
"Hosted in Archbishop Dolan's yard, the picnic brought together men and women discerning vocations as well as Vocation Directors from across the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, Seminarians and Seminary staff." I assume he grilled brats, but since he can't drink Falstaff like his father, what was he drinking?
