During Lent this year St. Joseph Cathedral Parish is making a special effort to take part in Operation Rice Bowl, an awareness-building charitable giving program of Catholic Relief Services, the US bishops' overseas aid organization. It is a highly-recommended addition to a good Lent for everyone.

Bring your Rice Bowl back to the Cathedral on Palm Sunday or any of the days of Holy Week. In fact, it won't be too late even a few days after Easter! Those whom you help by your generosity will always be most grateful!
