Happy Advent, Merry Christmas, and Happy New Year!

Thank you so much for your continued commitment to Catholic Relief Services!

I hope to grow our community and participation in 2023.

Looking ahead we'll

• Hold a CRS Rice Bowl coordinator kick-off (on the web). We'll build community, grow our connections, and share best practices.
• Support each other through Rice Bowl in our communities.
• Disperse CRS Rice Bowl local funds to amazing organizations around the Archdiocese.
• Grow the CRS committee (the behind the scenes planners).
• Grow more CRS chapters (the amazing CRS advocacy powerhouse in the Archdiocese).
• Hold a successful CRS collection.
• Advocate with CRS on care for our planet.

Please let me know how I can support you and your community's support of CRS. As always please reach out with questions or concerns (or IDEAS!).

Fair Trade Sale

A great big

to our vendors, volunteers, entertainers, planners, and shoppers! The Fair Trade sale would not be possible without all of you. The donation from Ten Thousand Villages is on it's way to CRS.

We did very well for our first in person sale post 2020 and I know next year will be even better!
