Mario Hiriart is declared “venerable”
Not exactly news, since it was reported by Pamela Fabiano and Maria Fischer a month ago at Schoenstatt. Venerable Mario Hiriart Pulido was "a lay person born in Santiago de Chile (Chile) on 23 July 1931 and who died in Milwaukee (United States) on 15 July 1964." Here's some additional background from Rome Reports.
He was in Milwaukee when he died on a visit to Schoenstatt founder Father Joseph Kentenich, a Pallottine priest, who had been "exiled" here by his religious order. (see Fr. Kentenich's Wikipedia entry)
Archdiocese of Milwaukee suspension of public Masses extended through April 3rd
An email today from Archbishop Listecki includes,
"Effective Wednesday, March 18, I am suspending the public celebration of Masses throughout the Archdiocese of Milwaukee, through Friday, April 3. This includes weekday and Sunday Masses. I ask that priests still celebrate Mass in their parishes, without an assembly, including the Sunday “pro populo” Masses as required by canon law.
"...Schools are discontinuing face-to-face instruction this week and Religious Education programs should also stop for the time being. All of these measures will be re-evaluated on April 1, with additional communication at that time."

La Crosse Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration to discontinue perpetual adoration after 142 years
For nearly a century and a half, for every hour of every day, 24/7, members of the Franciscan Sisters of Perpetual Adoration have said prayers in their chapel in La Crosse.continue at La Crosse Tribune
Next month, that will change.
The sisters have announced that after a dozen years of study and reflection, they will begin to cut back their prayer ritual to 6 a.m. and 10 p.m. daily.
Watching the death of this once glorious order is tragic and heartbreaking. Since 1997 the sisters have been assisted by the laity to continue around the clock adoration. I was at one point a member of that program. A group of sisters left this order to found the Franciscans of the Eucharist in 1973 and have been on a different trajectory both in theology and growth.
