=======================================================================


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 the meetings on Sundays @ 11:15 AM  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>).



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.



Fiat Group for Women’s Discernment: Fr. Moloney will lead a reading and discussion group about the nature of the vocation to celibacy in religious life, and how to discern if God is calling us to be “like the angels in heaven" (Matthew 22:30). Meeting times Wednesdays at 6-7 PM. To attend doesn’t mean that you are thinking about entering the convent, or even that you’re not dating. It can simply mean that you’re interested in supporting others who are thinking about religious life. If interested, Contact gwynethj at mit.edu<mailto:gwynethj at mit.edu> if interested. Copies of the book Discerning Religious Life are available in the office in W11-012
