Rice Bowl

This Lent SJS is once again participating in CRS Rice Bowl, a faith-in-action program that helps families experience Lenten spirituality by living in solidarity with people in need around the world.

Here are three simple ways to bring Lent to life in your home.

Place your CRS Rice Bowl in a prominent place in your home and use it to collect your Lenten sacrifices.

Read the Lenten Calendar reflections each day as a family.

Visit crsricebowl.org to find videos and family activities, or take Lent outside of the bowl and download the CRS Rice Bowl app on your iOS or Android device.

Thank you for using CRS Rice Bowl with your family this Lent. We will be collecting CRS Rice Bowls at the end of Lent.
