Pray for All Who Are Preparing for the Sacraments




As our children prepare to receive their First Eucharist and our youth prepare to be confirmed in a few short weeks, pray for them and and for all candidates and catechumens. Around the world, our universal Church will welcome people into our faith family next week at the Easter vigil. 

May our Hosanna's this weekend join with Catholics everywhere as we praise the one we name as Lord.

Rice Bowl Collection at Holy Thursday Liturgy

Palm Sunday marks the beginning of Holy Week. As we walk with Jesus, we remember the countless women, children, and men who carry heavy crosses even today: crosses of hunger, of vulnerability to climate change, or of a lack of resources. How—like Simon of Cyrene—can you help to carry the crosses of our sisters and brothers in our local community and around the world?


One way is to make a donation to the annual Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl campaign. 


Remember to bring your CRS Rice Bowl (cash or check) to our 6pm Holy Thursday liturgy at St. Leonard. 


Baskets will be at the front of the altar for all to bring forward their offering of alms to the poor and show our solidarity with our brothers and sisters—both here at home and around the world.


Watch this video to learn how local dioceses use 25% of the annual Rice Bowl collection to serve our nearby neighbors.
