Lent is a time to focus on prayer, fasting, and almsgiving. Rice Bowl helps us focus on almsgiving.
Rice Bowl is an annual campaign sponsored by Catholic Relief Services that engages young people and adults in a Lenten program of making small donations through Lent by forgoing a soda or donut or energy bar and putting that money in a small bowl or cup each day.
