Catholic Relief Services Collection

Each year, during the season of Lent, we have an opportunity to put our faith into action through prayer, fasting and almsgiving.  The Lenten alms donated through CRS Rice Bowl support the work of CRS in more than 100 different countries each year.  Twenty-five percent of donations to CRS Rice Bowl stay in the local diocese, supporting hunger and poverty alleviation efforts.

Funds from the Catholic Relief Services Collection will help six Catholic agencies to provide relief and support for struggling communities and to work for peace and reconciliation among our marginalized brothers and sisters here and around the world. Please prayerfully consider how you can support the collection. Learn more about the collection at www.usccb.orgcatholic-relief.
