news, curriculum, registration forms, and volunteer opportunities online. Click

A FEW GOOD AMBASSADORS NEEDED The Religious Education (REY) program is still looking for people who have lived or spent time in the following countries: Guatemala, India and Cameroon. The commitment is two 10 minute talks to our youths about being Catholic in that country. Please contact Jo-Ann Konieczny at jmkonieczny@charter.net or 413-586-6719.
THE NEWMAN BOOK CLUB Lewis’ Space Trilogy, of which Out of the Silent Planet is the first volume, stands along side Albert Camus’ Plague and George Orwell’s 1984 as a timely parable that has become timeless, beloved as much for the sheer wonder of its storytelling as for the significance of the moral concerns. The central character, the brilliant, clear eyed, and fiercely brave philologist Dr. Elwin Ransom is apparently modeled after Lewis’ dear friend, J.R.R. Tolkien. We meet in the Fr. Quigley Room at 7:30pm on the 1st Wednesday of each month. We’ll meet again on October 3rd. Please remember to order your book from Amazon via our website...Newman receives a small per-centage of the sale!

WHERE DID OUR “NEW MASS” COME FROM? Please join us on Sunday mornings from 9:15 to 10:15 am as we ex-plore the origins of our “New Mass” with extended community member Joanne Talbot. We will be intro-duced to fascinating examples of Old Testament models for the “New Mass” including Jewish prayer and ritual, as well as New Testament
and early Christian sources. Our goal is to obtain a deeper understanding of the gift of the Mass. Meetings will be held in the Quigley Room on six Sundays: September 30, October 7, 21, 28, No-vember 4, 18. For further information, please con-tact Joanne Talbot at rjtalbot@library.umass.edu.
