Ongoing Events
---------------------------

- Catholic Library Open
Interested in learning more about your faith, but not sure where to 
look?  Check out the TCC Library!  Now open in Father Paul's office, we
currently have two bookshelves full of Catholic-related books!  Library
will be open on Monday nights from 7-9pm or by appointment (catholic or
e_basha).  For more information or to donate books, please contact
Elizabeth (e_basha).

- RCIA and Confirmation Classes
Never been Baptized or confirmed?  TCC's RCIA and Confirmation Group
began Sunday, October 3rd.  Classes will be every Sunday at 4:00pm
in the W11 Main Dining Room.  Contact Fr. Paul or Anne Theriault
(catholic at mit.edu).

- Interdenominational Bible Study
Hey guys, as promised we're gonna start getting the ball rolling on
this. The study would be topically based; each week we'd select a topic
of interest to discuss (i.e. Mary, the saints, authority of the church,
faith and works, etc. etc.). The discussion is deep and the questions
are often difficult, but it is an excellent way to grow in your
understanding of the faith.  We will be meeting for the first time
Sunday 10/17 at 2:00pm in the middle of the Student Center.  We may
start out meeting every other week.  If you'd like more information,
contact Joel (joel_f at mit.edu).

- French Interdenominational Bible Study
Voila un petit courriel, pour vous annoncer que nous sommes un petit 
groupe de francophones a nous reunir hebdomadairement pour discuter des
tresors caches d'un livre, vieux de plusieurs millenaires et pourtant
toujours d'actualite: la Bible. Que vous n'ayez jamais ouvert une Bible
ou que vous soyez docteur en theologie, vous etes tous bienvenus a ces
discussions informelles! Si vous etes interesses, venez nous rejoindre
les mercredis a 18h00, dans la Chem Eng lounge (66-201).

- Monday Nights
Monday Nite, 7-9 in W11 MDH.  Activity: TBA - check the tcc website to
find out.
Questions or volunteering to cook, contact Ana Posada, aposada at mit.edu

Liturgy of the Hours - M-F 7:30am, 6:15pm, Sat 7:00am, 6:00pm, Sun
8:30am, 6:15pm.
Rosary - daily 15 minutes after the start of Liturgy of the Hours.
Meet in Chapel.  Contact Joel (joel_f at mit.edu) for more information.
If you don't see us in the chapel we are probably either downstairs
or just outside the chapel. 

- Eucharistic Adoration
Join us Tuesday at 7:00pm for Eucharistic Adoration in the Chapel.

- Mid-Week Mass
Join us Tuesday and Friday for Mass from 12:05pm - ~12:35pm in the

---------------------------
Volunteer Opportunities
---------------------------

- Coffee and Donut Volunteers Needed
We would like to start coffee and doughnuts after the 1pm Mass, but 
we need some help!  Volunteers to setup before Mass and cleanup after
Mass will make this happen!  Both require approximately 20 minutes of
your time and (unlike 9:30) no driving is required.  Interested?  
Contact Ashley (predith) for more information or to volunteer.
