=== (3) TCC Thanksgiving Luncheon ===
Come enjoy the company of fellow Catholics on Thanksgiving. If you are staying in town for the Thanksgiving break, you are invited to join us for a traditional Thanksgiving meal - courtesy of Deacon Hwang - at the MacGregor Dining Hall (450 Memorial Drive) on Thursday, 11/23 from 2 to 5 PM. Please RSVP to Kyle James (kbcj2711 at mit.edu) so we can cater accordingly.

=== (4) Tech Catholic Talk ===
Join us Monday, Nov. 20 at 8:15 for our talk, Ask the Priest! In an office hours-style discussion, Father Moloney will be answering all your questions about obscure theology, canon law, and anything else you can think of! Questions can be sent either through the following link: http://bit.ly/2AOsgNE or to mmullen at mit.edu, or, you can bring them (and yourself) to the talk! Pizza will be served.

=== (5) Elections ===
On Sunday, December 10 at 11:30am in the Small Dining Room in W11, we'll have our semester elections for positions on the TCC Council. Every position will be up for re-election this semester. If you're interested in getting more involved, volunteering, or taking on a leadership role in the TCC, please contact the Ben Myers (bmyers at mit.edu) and plan to be at the meeting on December 10.

=== (6) 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.

=== (7) 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<https://owa.exchange.mit.edu/owa/redir.aspx?C=pPSbzSniwyxXLZsXzAQipfOgCbhLTw8QkF2tt_L1xBH4QsjKTSnVCA..&URL=mailto%3aricardor%40mit.edu>).
Books "To Save a Thousand Souls" are available in the office/W11

=== (8) 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<https://owa.exchange.mit.edu/owa/redir.aspx?C=2I94I1wk4TuDSL_iG9BC5e5lz5s3wJUG4QKQfSAQTx74QsjKTSnVCA..&URL=mailto%3admoloney%40mit.edu>).
