RETURN YOUR RICE BOWLS

With the COVID-19 outbreak the preferred method to return CRS Rice Bowl donations is to write a check for the amount in your Rice Bowls and send it to the parish. Checks should be made out to Ss. John and Paul Parish with "Rice Bowls" written in the memo line so your donations are credited properly. A Rice Bowl container and tithing box will be in the gathering space during the Triduum when the church is open for private prayer (9 am-6 pm, April 9, 10 and 11.) A container will be in the office entry on weekdays, but this is not secure, so the preference would be that Rice Bowls are dropped off there during office hours.

FOR LENT FOR LIFE! RICE BOWL 2020

Welcome to CRS Rice Bowl 2020. We are so happy to have you join us on this Lenten journey as we travel around God’s beautiful world to meet three girls and their families. When you donate to CRS Rice Bowl, you share your life and your abundance with these families and others like them. Your generosity puts nutritious food on their tables and helps them lead healthier lives. As Jesus teaches us in the Gospel story of the loaves and the fishes, your small offering can feed many, and what may seem like a little, can actually be a lot.

Catholic social teaching inspires and guides how we are to live and work in the world. In this principle, Option for the Poor and Vulnerable, Jesus tells us to give special care to those who are most in need. He reminds us of our Christian duty to listen closely to those who often go unheard and to help those most vulnerable.
