growth in attendance at Mass (weekday and Sunday), at our social events (such as Friday night spaghetti dinners), Bible Studies (currently 20 groups), and educational lectures (attracting both Catholic students/faculty and students without any religious affiliation)
continues! Those are only some of the great things your prayer and financial assistance are making happen. <b>With growth</b>
<b>our costs have increased</b>; truly a great problem to have! Please support our students by ensuring a dynamic and thriving Catholic Community at MIT.<o:p></o:p></span></p>
