​WHAT IS CRS RICE BOWL? CRS Rice Bowl is Catholic Relief Services’ Lenten  faith-in-action program for families and faith communities. Through CRS Rice Bowl, we deepen  our personal experience of Lent, and hear stories  from our brothers and sisters in need worldwide.  We devote our Lenten prayers, fasting and gifts to transform our relationship with God and neighbor.

               CRS Rice Bowl helps us encounter Lent. We are called to love our neighbor. But, like the scholar in the scripture passage, we may find ourselves wondering, “Who is my neighbor?” This Lent, CRS Rice Bowl—Catholic Relief Services’ Lenten faith-in-action program, will help us answer that question.​

• Through prayer, we encounter Christ, present in the faces of every member of our human family, so often still walking that long road to Calvary.
• Through fasting, we encounter our own obstacles, those things about ourselves that prevent us from loving God and neighbor.
• Through almsgiving, we encounter our brothers and sisters around the world, asking what we can give up so that others might have life to the fullest.
