CRS Rice Bowl is celebrating its 51st Anniversary this Lent!

This program is a Lenten tradition for millions of Catholics in the United States who continue to live the Gospel call, supporting families experiencing hunger around the world.  75% of the monies collected fund international humanitarian relief and development projects that prevent hunger and poverty in almost 100 countries where CRS serves. The 25% retained by our Diocese is made available for small grants of up to $1,000.00. Diocesan entities may apply for grants to help fund innovative hunger and poverty alleviation efforts, justice education, or start-up for CRS projects.

Applications are due by February 5th with awards being announced in late February. Please click here to download the application.
