=== (2) So You Want to Be a Saint ===

Wed. at 6:30 PM in W11 Small Dining Room. Fr. Moloney leads a weekly
discussion-based class on a variety of themes regarding how to live out every
Christian’s call to be holy. Themes vary from week-to-week, ranging from
the practical to the highfalutin. Suggestions for class themes are
appreciated. Attendance at previous sessions is not required, nor is
extensive Catholic formation. *See 10 Days Boston.*


*=== *(3) Monday Night Discussions (MND) (Mondays 8 PM - 9:15 PM) ===

The goal of this forum is for participants to hold discussions about
certain questions of faith as they relate to their intellectual experiences
and expectations. Generally, there are pre-defined topics for discussion
but participants can suggest other topics too. Guest speakers are often
invited to contribute their expert knowledge to the discussion. A small
sample of past topics include: Franciscans of the Primitive Observance
on poverty;
Intercessory Prayer (Guest: A Marist postulant); Double Pre-destination
(Guest: Deacon John). Location: W11 Main Dining Room. Pizza will be served.
