Extraordinary Minister / Lector Training: If you would like to serve in our liturgical ministries (extraordinary minister of Holy Communion, lector, etc.) please contact Bernadine Kensinger at bkensinger50 at gmail.com<mailto:bkensinger50 at gmail.com>. and come to a training session at 2:30 PM/Lectors and 3 PM/the other Ministires - TODAY - Sunday, Sept. 15.



Our first Tech Catholic Talk of the year: Is Tolerance Still a Virtue? Tolerance in the sense of bearing with the faults of others is a traditional spiritual work of mercy. But starting in the 17th century, a strand of liberalism started using 'tolerance' to mean putting civil peace above a concern for truth and goodness. On Monday, 9/16 at 8:15 PM,  Fr. Moloney will discuss some of the implications of this change, and how what used to be a Christian virtue is often today used to critique Christians' value to society. Pizza will be served.



Trip to Six Flags New England: Saturday, Sept. 21. We will leave at 10:30 AM and will be back home at around 9 PM. Tickets and bus transportation are free.  Sign up in the back of the Chapel or email catholic at mit.edu<mailto:catholic at mit.edu>.



Announcing the St. Monica Society to pray for family members who are not close to the faith.

For those interested in becoming Catholic, being Baptized, receiving First Communion, or being Confirmed, come to a meeting on Sunday, September 22, at 3 PM in the Small Dining Room of W11.

Moloney to set up a time to talk individually (dmoloney at mit.edu<mailto:dmoloney at mit.edu>).



Spaghetti Suppers: Join the TCC every Friday night from 7-9 PM in the W11 Community Room for a free spaghetti supper! This is a time for food, fellowship, and fun.



Want to join the Choir? We are looking for new singers and instrumentalists (in particular, we are looking for pianists/organists!) for the TCC Choir. For details email Piotr Suwara (suwara at mit.edu<mailto:suwara at mit.edu>).



Taizé Prayer:   Invitation from the Episcopal Ministry to join in the MIT Chapel on Sunday evenings at 7:30 PM for Taizé Prayer,  a contemplative practice of scripture, chant, and silence.



In Christ, through Mary, Mother of Mercy,
