Join us to make a difference in
the lives of those in need!

CRS’ Operation Rice Bowl offers simple yet powerful
ways for parishes, schools and families to bring our
Catholic faith to life during the holy season of Lent!

 
"For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, a stranger and you welcomed me…"

In Matthew’s Gospel Jesus teaches us that when we serve our brothers and sisters in need, we also serve Him. This Lent, answer the call to serve the "least of our brothers and sisters" through Catholic Relief Services’ Operation Rice Bowl. Your prayers, fasting, and sacrificial contributions support CRS’ work with the poorest of the poor in nearly 100 countries.  Click here to read more and get involved.
