HUNGERING TO GIVE BACK
This week, CRS Rice Bowl takes us to Laos,
where Hongkham is using her love of
cooking to provide for her family– and feed
an entire school. How do we use our
passions and gifts for the betterment
of those we meet?
Visit crsricebowl.org for more information.
Please bring the money you have collected
using the Rice Bowl to the Mass of the Lord's
Supper on Holy Thursday, March 24th,
or bring it by the parish office
during Holy Week.
To make it easier to deposit your donations,
please make your donation in cash or by
check, with the check made out to:
"Holy Spirit Catholic Church" and "Rice
Bowl" written in the notation line.
You can also put your donation in an
envelope marked "Rice Bowl" and place it in
