You can also get a Catholic Relief Services Rice Bowl! Sacrifice a
little money each day of Lent by putting it in the Rice Bowl, then
turn it in at the end of Lent. Your money will go to support Catholic
Relief Service’s efforts to end hunger and poverty worldwide.
Check out www.crsricebowl.org for more info!
Whatever you do for Lent,
use the time to grow closer to God!
Forgot to bring cash to Mass? Sign up for online giving! It’s easy.

Did you know that only $4 per week from each student is enough to keep all the wonderful programs here at the UCC?
If you’re finding it difficult to remember to bring $4 cash each week, how about joining ParishPay? ParishPay
makes it easy for students to make regular monthly or weekly donations to the UCC. If you have any questions, please contact finance@uccla.org.
