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 that 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 who want to enter the Church. Classes will start in early October and run for the rest of the year.

For those interested in becoming Catholic, being Baptized, receiving First Communion, or being Confirmed, come to a meeting TODAY -  Sunday, September 22, at 3 PM in the Small Dining Room of W11. We will discuss the process of receiving these sacraments and coordinate future meetings. Bring a sponsor or friend if you’d like. Please reach out to Fr. Moloney to set up a time to talk individually (dmoloney at mit.edu<mailto:dmoloney at mit.edu>).

Tech Catholic Talk: Join us Monday, Sept. 23 at 8:15 PM in the W11 Main Dining Room for our talk ”Ask the Priest! “ In an office hours-style discussion, Father Moloney will be answering all your questions about obscure theology, canon law, and anything else you can think of! Questions can be sent to abestes at mit.edu<mailto:abestes at mit.edu>, or, you can bring them (and yourself) to the talk! Pizza will be served.

On Sunday, 9/29 - 5 PM Mass will be held in Twenty Chimneys/W20 3rd floor.  9:30 AM & 1 PM Mass in Chapel.

Spanish Eucharistic Adoration: Join us September 30 after the 7:30 PM Mass for an hour of Eucharistic Adoration, with hymns and prayers in Spanish!
