An account has been established whereby a student may specify the amount of his desired donation, and by way of finger swipe may easily transact the donation. Students and parents are again reminded to stay vigilant regarding the balance of lunch accounts. In addition, students will receive a Rice Bowl in their religion classrooms to take home - this will be collected after Lent. Lenten Resources. More than an exercise in donating money, our participation in the CRS Rice Bowl allows us to enter more deeply into solidarity with those who benefit from our sacrifices. What is Lent?
