The CRS Rice Bowl packet includes Lenten calendars with devotional activities, prayers, feast days and stations of the cross. Each calendar day has a global prayer focus with specific information about the country in need. Here are CRS Rice Bowl activities, printables, prayers, games, crafts and recipes.

In fact, it was downright illegal.   Free printable Catholic St. Valentine lesson plans, Valentine's Day worksheets | Examiner.com
