March 10, 2022Pick up your rice bowl to support Catholic Relief Services this Lent. Rice bowls are available in pews and on courtesy tables at all entrances on the weekend of Sunday, February 20.
During the 40 days of Lent, we are invited to slow down and focus on our journey and how we can follow Christ’s will more faithfully. We do this through the three pillars of prayer, fasting and almsgiving.
Through prayer we seek and connect with the Lord and ask him to intercede for the needs of our global family. We grow in our relationship with him and unite with our sisters and brothers around the world.
When we fast, we experience a little bit of the hunger that many experiences daily. We make room for the needs of others—and room for God’s Holy Spirit to work within us.
Finally, by recognizing the world’s needs and a personal commitment to help others, we give alms.
Rice bowls, along with old palm branches, may be returned at all church entrances beginning Palm Sunday through Easter Monday.
