As the Lenten season draws to a close and we transition into the celebration of Easter, St. Angela Merici is inviting the community to turn their sacrifices into tangible support for those in need. This year’s Operation Rice Bowl is coming to its peak, and it’s time to bring those small acts of daily fasting into the light of Easter morning.

How to Turn in Your Donations

If you’ve been filling your rice bowl over the last few weeks, there are several easy ways to ensure your contribution reaches its destination:

• At Mass: Look for dedicated collection boxes during the Masses on Saturday, April 11th and Sunday, April 12th.
• At the Parish Office: If you can’t make it to Mass, feel free to drop off your donations directly at the parish office.
• Via Check: For those who prefer not to carry a bowl full of change, you can add up your total and write a check.

Important Reminder for Donors

If you are choosing to write a personal check, please ensure it is made out correctly to:

CATHOLIC RELIEF SERVICES (CRS)

Why It Matters

Whether you are turning in a bowl of cash or a written check, your generosity supports the vital work of Catholic Relief Services. As the flyer reminds us, please continue to pray for the individuals and families who benefit from your support.

Let’s finish this Lenten journey strong and start our Easter season with a spirit of community and compassion. Happy Easter!!!
