Preparing for Missionary Action

We are called to go out to the periphery. As a time to focus on our Christian commitment to bear fruits of new life, Lent offers us an opportunity to encounter our neighbor and our faith in a renewed way. This Lent, CRS Rice Bowl invites you and your faith community to become missionary disciples and to promote solidarity in the world. CRS Rice Bowl is a faith in action program that accompanies families and faith communities in their Lenten journey of prayer, fasting and almsgiving, enriching their faith and transforming the lives of our neighbors most in need around the world. CRS Rice Bowl is your tool and best practicefor the formation of families and faith communities in global solidarity.
