Tech Catholic Talk on The Last Things: Death, Judgment, Heaven, Hell, Purgatory. Just in time for the month of November (featuring All Saints’ Day, All Souls’ Day and the end of the liturgical year), Fr. Moloney will give a talk on Catholic teaching regarding life after death, the end of the world, the Second Coming, and what that means for our souls. In the Main Dining Room of W11, Monday, Oct. 28, at 8:15 PM. Pizza will be served.

All Saints Day Masses:

-        Thursday, 10/31 @ 5:15 PM

-        Friday, 11/1 @ 12:05 PM and 5:15 PM

All Saints Day Party @ 6:15 PM - following the Mass - in W20/West Lounge (201).

In preparation for All Souls Day, there will be a book set out after each Mass for people to write down names of those who have passed away. The names will be read aloud during a Memorial Mass in November and we will pray for all of them.

All Souls Day:  Saturday November 2, we will be meeting at 1 PM in front of W11 to go to Mt. Auburn Cemetery to pray for the dead. All are welcome! We will travel via the T.

Melchizedek Group for Priestly Vocations: Fr. Moloney will lead a discussion group about the nature of the priestly vocation and how to discern if God is calling you to the “order of Melchizedek” (Heb. 5:6, 7:17) using the book To Save a Thousand Souls. 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.  Contact mteodros at mit.edu<mailto:mteodros at mit.edu> if interested. Books are available from Father's office in W11.

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 @ 11:15 AM in W11/SDR. 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>).

Women's Marriage Discussion Group. This group meets every other week to discuss marriage as a vocation. It is open to all women (i.e. you do not need to be married).
