Throughout these 40 days, we will encounter families in Ghana, Guatemala and Timor-Leste who are building resilience in the face of adversity and helping their communities to thrive. Each grade will spend Library learning time exploring these communities around the world supported by Rice Bowl donations, including Burien's own Franciscan Apartments. 

Our donations of Lenten alms to CRS Rice Bowl help make these stories of hope possible. We also help families in our local community as 25% of every donation stays in our diocese to fight hunger and poverty. 

JOIN IN OUR EFFORTS HERE and donate to our St. Francis Eagles page & help us reach our goal!

CRS Rice Bowl provides resources for daily reflection.  Consider these suggestions this Lent:

•    Use your CRS Rice Bowl and Lenten Calendar each day to guide your prayer, fasting and almsgiving.

•    Visit crsricebowl.org to read weekly Stories of Hope and watch the accompanying videos.

•    Use the CRS Rice Bowl recipes from crsricebowl.org/recipes to prepare simple, meatless meals on the Fridays of Lent to share -- they are good!

CRS Rice Bowl is one way we can answer Jesus’ invitation to share bread for life with others.  Donate HERE to our St. Francis Eagles fundraiser and support our faith into action!
