RISE AGAINST HUNGER 

March 14th - watch the bulletin and website for more information and to sign up to participate.  
Rise Against Hunger is an organization that seeks to alleviate global food insecurity. Volunteers from St. Mary’s come together during Lent to purchase and package over 10,000 meals which are then shipped overseas to countries in critical need of food. This is a hands-on, engaging and educational experience that provides a great service opportunity to children (age 10 and above)  as well as adults. 

Lent is a period of 40 days observed by Christians as a time of fasting, repentance, prayer, and reflection, leading up to Easter Sunday, symbolizing the 40 days Jesus spent fasting in the wilderness.
