=== (1) Extraordinary Minister of Holy Communion ===
Training session on Tuesday, 11/29 after the 12:05 PM Mass. For
info/sign-up talk to Fr. Moloney or email catholic at mit.

=== (2) Thomistic Institute at MIT ===
Friday December 2, at 7:00 pm in 4-163 Prof. Stephen Barr, a particle
physicist from the University of Delaware and author of Modern Physics and
Ancient Faith(Notre Dame, 2003) will give a talk entitled, “What's So
Special About the Universe? Multiverse Theory and Catholic Theology.”
There’s a puzzle in physics that might point at the existence of God: It is
extremely improbable that all of the major constants of physics fall within
the narrow parameters necessary to sustain human life. So improbable, in
fact, that the best scientific explanation for these 'anthropic
coincidences' could be that an intelligent being outside the physical
universe designed the universe with human life in mind. Some physicists
have proposed instead that there are a large or even infinite number of
undetectable parallel universes, in which case it would not be so
improbable that at least one supports life. But these multiverse theories
have deep problems, which make it harder to sustain an intellectually
serious atheism. Refreshments will be provided. Contact
thomisticinstitute at mit.edufor details or go to

=== (3) Vocations Lunch with The Franciscan Friars of the Renewal ===

 Last meeting for the semester on 11/30

   -  Fr. Moloney will lead a reading and discussion group about the nature

   - The text, To Save a Thousand Souls, is available in W11-012 for free.
   Meetings are in W20-450 at 6 PM on Wednesdays.
   - To attend doesn’t mean that you are thinking about entering the
   seminary, or even that you’re not dating. It can simply mean that you’re
   interested in supporting others think about the priesthood.
