Catholic Identity

Today is Ash Wednesday and the beginning of Lent.

Pope Francis asks us to be firm against indifference and to seek a heart that is “merciful, attentive and generous.”

During this Lenten season one way we are trying to make a difference is through our support of Operation Rice Bowl. Each week we will study about a different country, a different family and learn how our monies donated through Rice Bowl have helped and will continue to help these families.

There are many resources available to help families through the Lenten Season
