Live “Lent for Life” at Home

February 15, 2021

From the Office for Social Ministry

Coping with COVID-19 definitely has its ups and downs. But even with the challenges of social distancing and mask wearing, we can all still grow closer as One ‘Ohana this Lenten season!CRS Rice Bowl helps us stay connected with our sisters and brothers around the world through traditional Lenten practices of prayer, fasting and almsgiving right from your own home. Through the CRS website, you can find Stories of Hope, Lenten meatless recipes and many online giving opportunities to put your faith into action together as a family.

If you are attending Ash Wednesday services or stopping by your local parish during the week, be sure to pick up your CRS Rice Bowl.  If you’re staying “safer at home” as a family, you can easily print your own label and tape it to any collection bowl at home by following this link.

Catholic Relief Services provides all that is needed for your Domestic Church to practice global solidarity for Lent journeying with families in Madagascar, El Salvador and Timor-Leste.  Please visit the CRS Rice Bowl website for more resources as well as the links below:
