As part of our Lenten observance with its mandate to pray, fast and give alms, the students of Our Lady of Mount Carmel are participating in Catholic Relief Services’ Operation Rice Bowl project. Each classroom has a small paper “rice bowl” and students and teachers are encouraged to place small coin (or larger) donations in the bowl throughout Lent. All donations are given to Catholic Relief Services who are currently working in disaster relief after the Turkey earthquake and throughout the world. Join us in giving!
