Dining Room.</span></b><span style="font-size:12.0pt;font-family:Palatino"><br>
<br>
On Sunday, October 30th, at 11:00AM – 12:30pm in W11, Main Dining Room, the MIT Catholic community will begin our seminars on learning more about the Catholic Faith for those who are interested in becoming Catholic. Most of our meetings will take place on
Sundays, 3:30pm – 4:45pm in W11. However on Sunday, October 30<sup>th</sup>, we will join the larger Tech Catholic Community at a lecture – given by Fr Michael – on the Nicene Creed. The Creed is a statement of beliefs held by the Catholic Church. It is
a great place to begin learning about, and deepening understanding of the Catholic Faith. More information may be found at <a href="https://mitcatholic.org/why-catholic" title="https://mitcatholic.org/why-catholic">https://mitcatholic.org/why-catholic</a> or
by emailing Father Michael: <a href="mailto:mmedas@mit.edu" title="mailto:mmedas@mit.edu">mmedas@mit.edu</a> By the way, RCIA stands for Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults. This process of learning more about the Catholic Faith has its root in the time
of the original twelve apostles, the early Church.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
