We are reminded through the Gospel story of Jesus feeding the 5,000 that if we commit to sharing what we have with those in need, trusting in God's abundance, there is more than enough to feed everyone. 

Many of us remember donating to CRS Rice Bowls as children. Through our Lenten prayers, fasting, and almsgiving, we can respond to the call to ensure that all our brothers and sisters are fed good, nutritious food that gives them what they need to fulfill their God-given potential.

During this holy season, it is important to come together as a family and reflect on the cross of hunger and lack of proper nutrition that so many of our brothers and sisters, both near and far, are forced to carry.  In so doing, we pledge to stand alongside these members of our human family, supporting them as the Gospel calls us to do.

Rice Bowls are available at the back of the church.  If you would like to make a donation directly to Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl, please see our parish Rice Bowl page at this link.
