[TCCM] Masses for All Saints' Day, 10/31-11/1

[Daniel P Moloney]

November 1 is the Solemnity of All Saints, a Holy Day of Obligation.

A Vigil Mass will be celebrated at the MIT Chapel at 5:15 today (Thursday).
On Friday, Masses will be at 12:05 and 5:15.
There will be a TCC party following the 5:15 Mass on Friday, on the second floor of the Student Center.

Holy Days of Obligation are days in which Catholics are not supposed to do their ordinary work (they are treated like Sundays in canon law). MIT honors All Saints’ Day as a day in which Catholics are not obligated to work:

“Massachusetts state law regarding student absence due to religious beliefs has been adopted by the Institute as follows:

“Any student who is unable to attend classes or participate in any examination, study, or work requirement on a particular day because of his or her religious beliefs is excused from any such activity. The student will be given the opportunity to make up the work that was missed, provided that the makeup work does not create an unreasonable burden upon MIT. The Institute will not level fees or charges of any kind when allowing the student to make up missed work. In addition, no adverse or prejudicial effects will result because students have made use of these provisions.”

I hope to see many of you today and/or tomorrow!
