ABOUT CRS RICE BOWL
Lent is a liturgical season that focuses on the three spiritual pillars of prayer, fasting and almsgiving. This 40-day journey is a time for sacrifice, repentance and spiritual reflection preparing us for the commemoration of the Passion and death of Christ and the joyful celebration of his Resurrection on Easter Sunday.
One simple way to enhance your Lenten practice is to participate in the CRS Rice Bowl program. During Lent, Catholics and families across the United States use a rice bowl—a small cardboard box—to pray, fast and collect alms in support of their sisters and brothers living in poverty around the world. Each rice bowl comes with a calendar that guides families through the 40 days of Lent with activities and reflections connected to our global family.
This collection is administered by –
The Office of Peace and Justice, Catholic Charities, Diocese of Youngstown
