CRS Rice Bowl
CRS Rice Bowl is a Lenten program of prayer, fasting, learning, and giving.
The educational materials assist ongoing parish and school efforts in developing
a spirituality of justice and solidarity with those most in need. Donations help
fund CRS development projects in Africa, Asia, Eastern Europe, and Latin America
to produce more food, increase income and address poverty. 25% of contributions
remain in this archdiocese for grants to parishes and organizations that help the
poor in Western Washington.
