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.
