Social Concerns Corner: Walk in Solidarity with CRS this Lent
/From the Social Concerns Ministry.
Did you know that last year Catholic Relief Services (CRS) served over 200 million vulnerable people around the globe on behalf of the US Catholic community? While CRS is funded from diverse resources, it has been a strong partner to the US government since its history began over 80 years ago resettling survivors and migrants after World War II. This past year has brought significant changes to CRS’ reach and scale as outlined in this news article from Our Sunday Visitor News. Take some time to read this article and learn more about CRS’ Rice Bowl, a Lenten program of prayer, fasting, and almsgiving that encourages all of us to walk in solidarity with our brothers and sisters around the world.
