Each Lent we come together to pray, fast and give alms-and by doing so we help lift families and communities out of poverty and put them on a path toward resilience, prosperity and stability. That’s the CRS Rice Bowl effect. Rice Bowls will be available for pick-up in the back of church. Inside the bowls are suggested prayers, readings and facts about Catholic Relief Services

On Friday, February 13th, we will have our first 2026 Prayer Blanket Ministry Meeting. In case you are unfamiliar with our ministry we would like to tell you a little bit about us. We accept donated material and then ministry members make quilted, knitted, and/or crocheted blankets for parishioners, family members, friends and those who are in need of our prayers. Our Spiritual Works of Mercy call us to comfort the sorrowful and pray for the living. Whether it is from illness, anxiety or other needs, we want them to know that we as a Catholic Christian community are praying for them. We pray that God’s love and peace will fill each of them in their need. It connects us as a community and as a people of God. Fr. Charles blesses the completed blankets at a Sunday Mass for distribution. Our blessed blankets are then available in the church office for distribution. We would love for anyone interested in this Ministry to join us on Friday, February 13th at 10:00am in the Catechetical Center. We also ask that you include all of our blanket recipients in your prayers.
