<p class="MsoNormal">Given the new information that undergraduates have to move out on Sunday, I suspect that MIT won’t allow us to hold Mass on campus this Sunday. I won’t know more until later today, but that’s definitely the vibe I’m getting. Cardinal O’Malley
has decided to keep all parishes open, which means that Catholics are still obligated to attend Mass, unless you are feeling sick (of course).

<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">Besides, we all need to pray.</p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">I’d advise everyone to make plans to attend Mass at a nearby parish. I’ll try to work out the possibility of holding a special Mass at St. Mary’s or another of the local parishes on Sunday (for example, at 5 pm). I’ll also try to be maximally
available to hear confessions, including on Sunday.</p>

<p class="MsoNormal">I was supposed to be working on a letter to go in the bulletin, but I’m thinking it will have to be done online for the near future. We’re working on adding a section to the TCC website (<span style="color:black"><a href="http://tcc.mit.edu" target="_BLANK">http://tcc.mit.edu</a>)
which will give information about what things will be available on campus (probably very little) and what will be available online. We’re hoping to offer robust offerings—including Bible studies, podcasts, homilies, suggested readings—while we are all dispersed.
I want to be available for phone calls (my cell is below) and other forms of spiritual direction. And in case you start to miss me, my book will be coming out in a few weeks:

of ordination, and my fifth anniversary at MIT. It is not ending the way I, or any of us had hoped. But God has a plan for all of this.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
