Dear CM families,
As Jesus' disciples, we have a responsibility to care for our brothers and sisters in all nations. Our CM community will again participate in Catholic Relief Services' Operation Rice Bowl (ORB) this Lent as a sign of solidarity with our global family. ORB invites us to :
- PRAY together.
- FAST in solidarity with those who hunger.
- LEARN about the challenges lives of our brothers and sisters around the world.
- GIVE sacrificial contributions to support those in need.
Today, CM room parents have distributed the ORB which contains one RICE BOWL and an ORB calendar to your students, please put up the calendar, do this Lenten Activity as a family, your involvement is most encouraging to your students. Couple of notes:
- Remind your student to bring the weekly ORB sacrifices to church every Sunday during Lent (total of 7 weeks) as offertory.
- In order to save the manpower of counting the coins, I encourage parents to exchange coins into bills if possible before church.
- If you prefer to write a check, pay to the order of "SJCCC", memo "ORB".
- Additional resources are available online at orb.crs.org/resources.
Your participation is most appreciated! May your faith family enjoy a truly blessed Lenten experience.
Gratefully,
Jessica Wang
CM Director
