=== (4) Graduate Student Email List ===
Join the tcc-grads email list (go to MIT's WebMoria list manager) to hear about upcoming events for TCC graduate students.

=== (5) Register for FORMED.ORG ===
The TCC has received a grant to provide access to FORMED.org - the Augustine Institute's online gateway to a whole bunch of Catholic formational content, including podcasts, videos (many pitched at children), and e-books. (Think of it as a Catholic version of Amazon Prime). To register for free, go to https:/formed.org/home?code=J8VGDK and enter your email.

=== (6) Melchizedek Group for Priestly Vocations ===
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).
Meeting times Mondays at 3:45pm in W20-450
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.
If interested, contact Ricardo J. Rodriguez Garcia (ricardor at mit.edu<mailto:ricardor at mit.edu>).
Books "To Save a Thousand Souls" are available in the office/W11

=== (7) Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults (RCIA) and Course in the Fundamentals of the Catholic Faith ===
Fr. Moloney will be offering a class in the fundamentals of the Catholic faith that will cover everything from the Trinity to Church history to the Sacraments, prayer, and the moral life. It is meant to be both a high-level introduction to the faith appropriate for interested non-Catholics, and a serious review of the faith for those who are Catholics. It is required for those who want to enter the Church. Classes will be held at 2:45pm on Sundays in W11/Small Dining Room. For more info contact (dmoloney at mit.edu<mailto:dmoloney at mit.edu>).
