CRS Rice Bowl: During Lent, we are invited to deepen our relationship and unite our hearts more fully with God and with one another in an intentional way through the Catholic tradition of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. This Lent fast in solidarity with those of our neighbors who are hungry and who struggle to meet basic needs. Donate money saved while fasting to CRS Rice Bowl and help support local organizations such as Prince of Peace Center.
