RICE BOWL FOR LENT, FOR LIFE

What you give up for Lent changes lives.

The Archdiocese of Philadelphia will mark its 48^th consecutive year participating in Catholic Relief Services’ (CRS) Rice Bowl initiative. This faith-in-action program provides a tangible way to incorporate prayer, fasting, and almsgiving into our Lenten journeys and sheds light on our shared commitment to assist the poor and vulnerable in our region and around the world.

 

Three-quarters of all contributions to Rice Bowl are used to provide assistance to impoverished communities overseas. The remaining 25% stays within our area and will be used by Nutritional Development Services, an agency of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, to combat hunger and poverty locally.
