Melchizedek Group for Priestly Vocations: Fr.

We meet on Mondays 5-6PM. 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 Kyle James (kbcj2711 at mit.edu<mailto:kbcj2711 at mit.edu>). Books are available from Father's office in W11.

Women's Discernment Group for Religious Life: Fr. Moloney will lead a reading and discussion group about the
nature of the vocation to celibacy in religious life, and how to discern if God is calling us to be "like the angels in heaven" (Matthew 22:30). Meeting times Wednesday at 5 PM. To attend doesn't mean that you are thinking about entering the convent, or even that you're not dating. It can simply mean that you're interested in supporting others who are thinking about religious life. If interested, contact Mariah Mullen (mmullen at mit.edu<mailto:mmullen at mit.edu>). Copies of the book Discerning Religious
Life are available in the office in W11-012

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.

"What do I live for?": Let's take time in our busy routine to discuss what really matters in our life. We'll be guided by
a few proposed readings that can help us to 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
