OPERATION RICE BOWL

Each year during Lent the Catholic Church in the United States sponsors OPERATION RICE BOWL which serves as the alms giving project benefiting the hungry throughout the world. You are asked to take a rice bowl and place it on your supper table as a daily reminder of the need to remember those who are hungry because of a lack of food and clean water. You are asked to place your offering in the alms box and return it to church on Easter Sunday, not before that since our fasting does not end until Holy Saturday, April 11th. Checks should be made payable to St. Cecilia Church with the memo RICE BOWL and one parish check will be sent to Catholic Relief Services.
