Rice Bowl

Please make checks payable to St. Mary Parish, noting Rice Bowl on the check.

Thank you for your prayerful participation in Catholic Relief Services’ Operation Rice Bowl this past Lent. Your Lenten prayers demonstrate true solidarity with our neighbors here and around the world.

75% of our Rice Bowl contributions will go to CRS and support projects to help people all around the world who struggle with the burdens of hunger and poverty. 25% of our contributions will remain here in Western Washington, and will help fund hunger and poverty alleviation programs that assist people in our own local communities.

Please visit the Operation Rice Bowl website at www.crs.org/orb to find more information about how your generous gifts are put to use around the world and www.seattlearch.org/missions for information about local use of funds.

CCD Update
