=== (1) The Narrow Path: Your Vocation and Ours ===
Monday Night Discussion tomorrow will talk about the recent history of the
theology of vocation.
Vatican II marked an important moment in how Catholics talk about vocation.
No longer was it appropriate to think that only those in religious life or
the clergy had vocations; everyone has a vocation, a vocation to holiness
that comes from following Jesus. Married people have a vocation to be
married, suggesting that the time of courtship and engagement ought to be a
time of discerning whether a particular marriage would be God's will. This
broadening of the notion of a "calling," however, had unintended
consequences for how we think about vocations to the priesthood and
religious life, and in some cases married life, such that today vocations
of all sorts are in a crisis.
We’ll be meeting in 3-333 after Mass (8:15 PM).
To receive updates about this and other formational activities, contact
tccwebmaster at mit.edu and ask to be added to our TCC-ED mailing list.

=== (2) World Mission Sunday===
On Sunday, October 23, there will be Mass at the Cathedral of the Holy
Cross at 11:30 AM, then the opportunity to venerate a relic of Saint
(Mother) Teresa of Calcutta! Check out Pontifical Mission Societies Boston

=== (3) Spaghetti Suppers ===
Join the TCC every Friday night from 7-9 pm in the W11 Community Room for a
free spaghetti supper! This is a time for food, fellowship, and fun.

=== (7) Melchizedek Group for Priestly Vocations ===

   - Starting this Wednesday, Sept. 28, and meeting each Wednesday for the
   rest of the semester, Fr. Moloney will lead a reading and discussion group
   about the nature of the priestly vocation and how to discern if God is
   calling us to the “ancient order of Melchizedek” (Heb. 5:6, 7:17).
   - The text, To Save a Thousand Souls, is available in the chaplains’
   office of W11 for free
   - For the first meeting we will read and discuss the first chapter. All
   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.
   - Anyone interested can contact Ben Myers (bmyers at mit.edu).
