CCST mourns the violent death of Fr. David Donis Barrera...Lent and Operation Rice Bowl begin Feb. 22...



The Gospel calls us to reach out to our brothers and sisters who struggle with hunger and poverty. Our community will participate in Catholic Relief Services Operation Rice Bowl this Lent as a sign of solidarity with our global family. Operation Rice Bowl invites us to:
--Pray together.
--Fast in solidarity with those who hunger.
-- Learn about the joys and challenges in the lives of our brothers and sisters around the world.
-- Give sacrificial contributions to support those in need.

Visit ORB.CRS.ORG to watch videos and learn more about the difference your prayers, fasting and almsgiving make in the lives of our brothers and sisters in need.







Fr.David Donis Barrera, pastor of one of our CCST partner parishes in Santa Rosa, Guatemala, was shot and killed along the highway on Jan. 27, 2012.
May he rest in peace.

Fr. David pastored in Oratorio, which is partnered in the Diocese of Metuchen with St. Charles Borromeo Parish, Skillman.
