=== (2) 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.

=== (3) 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 TBD. 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>).

=== (4) 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 start in early October and run for the rest of the year. For more info contact (dmoloney at mit.edu<mailto:dmoloney at mit.edu>).

=== (5) FOCUS Bible Study ===
Interested in forming deep friendships and getting to know the mind and heart of Jesus Christ through His Word? Sign up for a weekly Bible study! Contact the FOCUS missionaries at lisa.driscoll at focus.org or 720-938-7692.

=== (6) 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. Not happening 10/13 (see Tech Catholic Talk above).

=== (7) BBMSK (Back Bay Mobile Soup Kitchen) ===
We serve homeless communities in Back Bay and Cambridge giving out socks, sandwiches, and a friendly presence to folks we come across on the street. When? 6:00 PM on Tuesdays at W11 or 6:00 PM on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays in front of St. Clement's Shrine. For more info, visit bbmsk.org!
