Lenten Rice Bowl - CRS

Each Lent, Catholic families across the country unite to put their faith into action through prayer, fasting and almsgiving. Through CRS Rice Bowl, families learn about how our sisters and brothers across the globe overcome hardships like hunger and malnutrition, and how through Lenten alms, we have the power to make the world a better place for all.

CRS Rice Bowl provides many resources for daily reflection throughout Lent. Consider
these suggestions in your family’s Lenten plan:

• Use your CRS Rice Bowl and Lenten Calendar each day to guide your prayer, fasting   and almsgiving.
• Read the Stories of Hope and daily reflections to inspire your Lenten journey.
• Use the CRS Rice Bowl recipes to prepare simple, meatless meals on the Fridays of Lent  to eat in solidarity with our sisters and brothers around the world.
• Visit crsricebowl.org to watch videos of the people and communities you support    through your Lenten gifts to CRS Rice Bowl.

Your sacrifices during this holy season have the power to change lives by providing enough nutritious food for families to thrive. And by practicing the pillars of Lent through CRS Rice Bowl, we hope both your faith and connection to our one human family deepens. CRS Rice Bowls will be collected at the end of Lent, so stay tuned to learn more.

We will have rice bowls available in the narthex starting on Ash Wednesday. Families can use their CRS Rice Bowls at home throughout Lent. You can return your rice bowls during Holy Week or make an online donation below. Thank you for participating in CRS Rice Bowl with your family.
