Update on the so-called MAiD Law in New York State

Dr. Carroll will be joining (via video) Fr. Stephen Yusko, STL and the Albany Catholic Medical Guild with an update and recommendations regarding the soon-to-be available so-called Medical Aid in Dying (scMAiD). The focus of the evening will be on what physicians should know about the new New York State law legalizing scMAiD and how we might respond when this topic comes up, whether with patients or anyone else.

The Albany Guild has graciously opened to anyone who might be interested, so please join us for a short presentation followed by Q&A!

  • Title: so-called Medical Aid in Dying in NY State: An update and reflections of a Catholic physician
  • Date: May 13, 2026
  • Time: 6:30pm to 7:30pm
  • Zoom meeting link: 970 3862 0187

Update: Here’s the flyer from the Albany Guild

New Bishop

It is with joy that we welcome Bishop John Bonnici as Bishop Designate for the Diocese of Rochester. We look forward to working with His Excellency, Bishop Bonnici, and we ask that you join us in praying for him and his new Episcopate.

We also thank Bishop Matano for his tireless leadership these past 12 years. We cannot say enough about the support he has provided to the Guild and the larger Rochester medical community. We will continue to pray for him as he continues to lead our diocese in the coming months.

FLG and LECOM

Dr. Lada and Dr. Carroll had the opportunity to visit the Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine (LECOM) in Elmira yesterday. They were invited to discuss faith and medicine. It was a wonderful group who were very kind, interested, and asked great questions!

Thank you to Jan Ziembicki (pictured – far left) for organizing!
