RICE BOWL PRESENTATION: Migration and COVID Challenges

Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl Presentation
With our Fish Fry Fridays and Rice Bowl Simple Suppers on hold this year, we need to find creative ways to gather!  We invite all to cook a meatless meal on Friday, March 19 and to join us online at 6pm for a shared dinner and presentation by Cecilia Suarez Trueba, head of CRS’s Mexico Office.  Learn more about Catholic Relief Services, how they are responding to COVID-19, and how your Rice Bowl donations change lives around the world!  Need some meatless recipe ideas?  Check out crsricebowl.org for Rice Bowl recipes from around the world.  

The pandemic has strengthened, justified, and entrenched the physical, social, and economic barriers that have forced people to leave their homes and countries.  In the midst of increasing desolation, polarization, and global confrontation we are being invited by Pope Francis in Fratelli Tutti to dream "as one humanity": not an individual dream but he invites us to dream together to seek new solutions.
