Ash Wednesday marks the beginning of Lent. 
To enrich your journey and make a difference in the lives of others, Catholic Relief Services (CRS) invites us to enhance our Lenten experience through prayer, fasting, learning and almsgiving.
As always, 75% of your contribution to Rice Bowl supports CRS’ humanitarian relief programs in nearly 100 countries worldwide. 25% remains in our Diocese to support the fight against local hunger and poverty. Through the Catholic Foundation World Missions department we support the outreach ministry of Catholic Relief Services. Learn more about Rice Bowl Lenten Activities.
