CRS Rice Bowl Week 1 : IRAQ



CRS Weekly Lenten Soup Suppers started at Christ Our Hope Catholic Church featuring the country of IRAQ. After the 7 pm mass on Feb 18th, the CRS Ambassadors presented the story of Majd, an Iraqi boy whose life was changed by one of the great works of the Catholic Relief Services.

The parish Communications Commission members prepared and served the soup and Claire McPherson ( commission chair ) had the opportunity to share to the community in attendance what the Commission's mission and vision are, followed by a CRS blessing prayer before soup was served.

During the supper, videos of " Who is my Neighbor", " Prayer", "Fasting" and "Almsgiving" were shown. It was a great evening of fellowship and mindfulness as we learn about the heartwarming and life changing works of the Catholic Relief Services.

In behalf of the CRS Ambassadors, the Outreach Commission and Father Paul Magnano - Thank You for your support and participation - especially to the Communications Commission

Here are some photos from the evening:
