We can't wait to welcome everyone back in person to our beloved spaces in Anabel Taylor Hall! In preparation for the Fall, the ministry staff will be tweaking some of our rooms to make them more usable and welcoming. As part of this effort, we want to find new names for the "Lounge" and "Redlin Room" which better reflect the rooms' functions and which sound inviting to students. Can you help? Please make your suggestions here by July 25. Then check back on Flocknote next week to cast your vote!

The Catholic Church made headlines in the major media outlets last Friday when Pope Francis issued a motu proprio* entitled Traditionis custodes ("Guardian of the tradition). In this document, Pope Francis restricted many of the provisions granted by Pope Benedict XVI and St. John Paul II to celebrate the Mass in the "Extraordinary Form" (i.e., using the older liturgical books). You can read the motu proprio and Pope Francis's accompanying letter on the Vatican website. If you want to talk about what this means and the context for Pope Francis's decisions, come to This Catholic Life (above) to talk to the ministry staff, or reach out to Fr. Dan (dtm33@cornell.edu) or campus minister Matthew Hall (mh968@cornell.edu).

*What's a motu proprio? "Motu proprio" literally means "by one's (own) proper motion (= initiative)." Letters issued by motu proprio are laws issued by the pope himself on his authority as the Supreme Legislator of the Church.

Bishop Matano will be offering a Mass for Peace at Sacred Heart Cathedral in Rochester on Monday, July 26 at 7pm. You can find the invitation here.
