Pope Francis Lenten message:

“This Lent, God is asking us to examine whether in our lives, in our families, in the

places where we work and spend our time, we are capable of walking together with

others, listening to them, resisting the temptation to become self-absorbed and to

think only of our own needs,”  The current federal administration has severed the 7 decades long partnership with Catholic Relief Services(CRS), the US Bishops' international aid program. Please pray for the millions of vulnerable children, women and men left to their own devices. Please be extra generous in giving to the CRS Rice Bowl this Lent.
