Catholics around the country have been putting our contributions into the little cardboard CRS Rice Bowls during Lent to assist the poor in other countries.

Since the current COVID-19 safety precautions discourage people from leaving their homes, the boxes should not be taken to the parish at this time.

After the COVID-19 restrictions on movement have been lifted, you can bring your CRS Rice Bowl to the parish for processing.

If you wish, you could write a check to your parish in the amount you have collected, clearly marked for CRS Rice Bowl 2020, and mail the check to your parish — or deliver the check in person once current restrictions have been lifted.
