<tt>- Undergraduate Scripture Study</tt><br>
<tt>This Bible Study meets on Thursdays at 8:30 in McCormick. It
usually runs
for about an hour. The format of the study is basically reading,
meditating on,
and discussing the Gospel for the following Sunday's Mass during the
first
part, and then either listening to or reading something of Catholic
interest
and discussing it.</tt><br>

<br>
<tt>- Interdenominational Scripture Study</tt><br>
<tt>Interested in discussing Scripture with other Catholics and
non-Catholic
Christians? This study chooses topics in advance about which Catholics
and
other Christians usually disagree and then seeks to come to a better
understanding of these through Scripture as well as readings from the
early
Church Fathers. It meets every other Thursday in W11 starting 10/6 from
7
-8:30pm.</tt><br>

<tt>- Boston Catholic Men's Conference</tt><br>

<tt><span style="font-size: 10pt; color: rgb(51, 0, 51);">I had the
privilege of attending
this Conference last year and it was absolutely amazing and this year
it looks
even better. On top of the awesome speaker's lineup, the price for
registering
before 12/31/05 is only $10 for students. I'd like to try and get a
large group
to come out from MIT. They also discount pricing for groups, so it'd be
great
if you could get back to me to let me know if you're interested and I
could
register everyone as a group. Hope many of you would be able to make it
out for
this awesome experience (there were already 300 men signed up after the
first
day of registration!). For more info on the conference visit: <a
