Rice Bowl - A Faith Formation family project CRS (Catholic Relief Services) Rice Bowl is a faith-in-action program that invites us to encounter and support the needs of others. We pledge to stand alongside these members of our human family. Please consider these suggestions in your family’s Lenten plan: Use your Lenten Calendar daily to guide your prayer, fasting and almsgiving. • Read the Stories of Hope and daily reflections to inspire your Lenten journey-and guide your Lenten almsgiving. Prepare simple, meatless meals on the Fridays of Lent to eat in solidarity with our brothers and sisters around the world. Visit crsricebowl.org to watch videos of the people and communities you support through your Lenten gifts to CRS Rice Bowl. Please see any Faith Formation student or catechist during Lent to donate to this worthy cause. Together, we can make a difference!
