- Undergraduate Scripture Study
This Bible Study meets on Thursdays at 8:30 in McCormick. It usually
runs for about an hour. The format of the study is basically reading,
meditating on, and discussing the Gospel for the following Sunday's Mass
during the first part, and then either listening to or reading something
of Catholic interest and discussing it.

- Interdenominational Scripture Study
Interested in discussing Scripture with other Catholics and non-Catholic
Christians? This study chooses topics in advance about which Catholics
and other Christians usually disagree and then seeks to come to a better
understanding of these through Scripture as well as readings from the
early Church Fathers. It meets every other Thursday in W11 starting 10/6
from 7 -8:30pm.

- Sidewalk Counseling at Planned Parenthood
Some members of MIT Pro-Life as well as some Catholics from parishes in 
the Boston area come out each Saturday morning to do sidewalk counseling 
at the Planned Parenthood on Comm Ave. This can involve anything from 
praying, to holding a sign, passing out pamplets, talking with those 
passing by, or simply hanging out  and being a supportive presence. In 
addition, on the second Sat. of every month there is a huge Rosary vigil 
there. If anyone is interested we'd love to have more people out there 
on Saturday mornings. Contact joel_f at mit.edu
