CRS RICE BOWL CRS RICE BOWL: Join our parish community -- and nearly 14,000 Catholic communities across the United States -- in a life-changing Lenten journey with CRS Rice Bowl. CRS Rice Bowl is a faith-in-action Lenten program for families, individuals and faith communities with family activities, meatless meals, prayers and reflections. Rice Bowl invites Catholics to live in solidarity with our most vulnerable brothers and sisters through the Lenten pillars of Prayer, Fasting and Almsgiving.
Using the cardboard Rice Bowl is a familiar reminder to collect the money you save from what you give up for Lent.
PLEASE PICK UP A RICE BOWL with a Lenten calendar and a flyer for more information at the church entrance.
WHAT YOU GIVE UP FOR LENT CHANGES LIVES.
BLESSED SACRAMENT ALTAR SERVERS Serving at the altar is a privileged way to grow closer to Jesus and to share the joy that we receive by being close to the Lord.

LENTEN SIMPLE SUPPERS Please join us during any or all of the Wednesday of Lent: 2/28, 3/7, 3/14, and 3/21 for our Lenten Simple Suppers. Prayers and meditation begin at 7PM in the rectory, followed by a meal of soup and salad…and fellowship. The suppers are a wonderful way to not only deepen one’s Lenten experience, but also to be able to reflect in a very comfortable and quiet setting with fellow parishioners. For more information, please call John Gasdaska at 646-345-7350. We look forward to seeing you then.
