Winter Weather Closings: Whenever MIT closes, or whenever the roads are unsafe for Fr. Moloney to make it into campus, it is likely that Mass or other activities will be cancelled. To receive notice that Mass is cancelled, it is important that everyone subscribe to TCCM at mit.edu<mailto:TCCM at mit.edu>, our main mailing list. To add yourself to the list go to: http://mailman.mit.edu/mailman/listinfo/tccm.

The last Sunday Masses will be on December 16, and will resume on January 13.

Weekday Masses end on Thursday, December 20, and resume on February 4.

Give TCC a Christmas Gift: As is well known, the Tech Catholic Community is supported entirely by students, alumni, and parents-the Archdiocese of Boston cannot provide any money for the chaplaincy. The easiest way to give is through the TCC website: http://tcc.mit.edu/www/donations.html. Please be generous, and consider making an automatic monthly donation.

SEEK is a 5 day Focus conference that will be happening from January 3-7 in Indianapolis this year. The theme of the conference is "What are you seeking?", and the conference is designed to facilitate a first encounter between a student and the Lord. A link to the site is www.SEEK2019.com<http://www.SEEK2019.com>.

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 on Sundays from 2:45-3:45 PM in the Small Dining Room of W11. The class 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 in becoming Catholic, being Baptized, receiving First Communion, or being Confirmed (who should also reach out to Fr. Moloney to set up a time to talk individually (dmoloney at mit.edu<mailto:dmoloney at mit.edu>). Classes will start October 14 and run for the rest of the year.

Bible Studies: Our undergraduate studies will end for the semester after Sunday, 12/16, and will resume during IAP. If you are staying on campus during IAP and are interested in participating in our Bible studies, please email focusmishes at mit.edu

"What do I live for?": Resumes on January 8! Reflect on our daily experience and on our values/needs. Italian food will be provided! Tuesdays from 7pm to 8pm @ the Student Center, Private Dining Room #3. For more info: Elisa: elisap at mit.edu<mailto:elisap at mit.edu>

Want to join the Choir? For details, visit bit.ly/mit-tcc-choir or email Piotr Suwara (suwara at mit.edu).

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. For info, visit bbmsk.org or email James Rowe (jcrowe at mit.edu<mailto:jcrowe at mit.edu>).

Song & Stillness: Taizé @ MIT at 8 pm Sunday evenings in the MIT Chapel. Taizé prayer is a contemplative evening prayer service, including readings from scripture, candlelight, meditative singing, and time for silence. All are welcome!

Integrity at MIT: Resuming in January! Do you have trouble staying chaste? Are you tired of confessing sexual sins again and again? Join a peer support group of Catholic men struggling for chastity. Contact integrity at mit.edu for more information and times of weekly meetings.
