It is not too late to join other members of our parish community—and nearly 14,000 Catholic communities across the United States—in a life-changing Lenten journey of encounter with CRS Rice Bowl. Pick up your family’s CRS Rice Bowl from the table under the bulletin board in the Narthex. Remember, your contributions to Rice Bowl helps those in need both globally and locally: 25% of the proceeds remain in the Oakland Diocese, with a portion being given out as grants to St. Vincent de Paul conferences and other organizations working to alleviate hunger and food insecurity in Alameda and Contra Costa Counties.
