CRS RICE BOWL - LENTEN ALMSGIVING - CRS Rice Bowl is a Catholic Relief Services’ Lenten faith-in-action program for families and faith communities. Through CRS Rice Bowl, we deepen our personal experience of Lent, and hear stories from our brothers and sisters in need worldwide. We devote our Lenten prayers, fasting and gifts to transform our relationship with God and neighbors. Rice Bowls are in the vestibule of the church and in the rectory. Please return them beginning the Fifth Sunday of Lent to the vestibule.
For more information about the program or other ways of how you can participate, please visit archchicago.org/crs-rice-bowl.
Rice Bowls are available as you leave the Church or at the rectory.
Please return the Rice Bowl beginning on March 20-21.
