Ask the Priest: What's a second-class relic? How does canonization work? What in the world is 'transubstantiation'? Did St. Nicholas really punch Arius in the face? Do you have questions about Church teaching, practice, Tradition and/or tradition? For our first Tech Catholic Talk of the semester, Fr. Moloney is making himself available to answer your questions this Monday (2/11) in the W11 Main Dining Room at 8:15pm. There will be pizza!

TCC Winter Retreat: February 15-17, 2019. TCC is planning the Winter Retreat at the Betania II Spiritual Life & Marian Center in Medway, MA. Bus transfer to and from the retreat center, lodging, and food at the retreat center are free. The bus departs MIT W11 on Friday, February 15 at 7 PM. We will leave from the Beatnik II onSunday, February 17 at 11 AM. Space is limited! Please sign up in the back of the Chapel or email catholic at mit.edu.

Old Testament Prophets: Lecture and discussion on Wednesday, Feb. 13, 6:30 - 8 PM, St. Cecilia’s Parish Hall/Boston. Workshop “Would you recognize a Prophet if you saw or heard one?, The Hebrew Prophets: Voices for out Times”  presented by Richard J. Clifford, SJ, Professor Emeritus at the Boston College School of Theology and Ministry. Please register for free at http://bit.ly/Hebrew-Prophets

Adventures of a Vatican Astronomer: 7:00 PM (reception following) on  Wednesday, Feb. 13 at St. Paul’s Parish in Harvard Square (29 Mount Auburn Street, Cambridge, MA). Br. Guy Consolmagno, SJ, is a Jesuit brother, planetary scientist, and Director of the Vatican Observatory. Having earned his B.S. and M.S. in planetary science at MIT and a PhD at the University of Arizona, Br. Consolmagno’s time is now split between the meteorite collection in Rome and the Vatican telescope in Arizona. Thanks to his Vatican connections, his work has sent him around the world several times to dozens of countries and every continent (including a meteorite hunting expedition to Antarctica). In this keynote talk, he will share some of those adventures, and reflect on the larger meaning of our common experience as scientists… not only what we do, but why we do it.

The Galileo Affair in Context: 12:00 PM on Thursday, Feb. 14 in Room WCC-2012, Wasserstein Hall, Harvard Law School. Science is always shaped by what is happening in the broader society that supports it, and the science of the 17th century was no different. Speaking as a Jesuit scientist, not a professional historian, Dr. Consolmagno examines how Galileo's work challenged the science of the day, how it was shaped by the personal ambitions of the main players in the field of natural philosophy at that time, and how Galileo's standing rose and fell with the fortunes of the Spanish during the 30 Years War.
