CRS RICE BOWL: Encounter Opportunity

We encounter Fernando in El Salvador where, despite a lack of economic opportunity, youth are pursuing their dreams of building businesses to better the lives of their families.  How have you worked to better the lives of others this Lent?  Visit crsricebowl.org for more.  You’ll find Stories of Hope from each of the featured countries as well as various reflections and activities. 


On March 24, we celebrate Blessed Oscar Romero's Feast Day.  This Archbishop from El Salvador was formally declared a martyr for the faith by Pope Francis in February 2015.  He was beatified on May 23, 2014.  To learn more about his life and faith, click here.
