What's Happening at GCC Arlington
Sunday Mass
Rice Bowl Has Gone Virtual This Year!
Rice Bowl is the official Lenten program of Catholic Relief Services, the overseas relief and development agency of the United States Catholic Bishops.
It calls Catholics in the U.S. to reach out to people in poverty around the world through the traditional Lenten practices of prayer, fasting, learning, and giving.
CRS Rice Bowl also helps us to become global disciples, by reaching out to our brothers and sisters no matter where they live — allowing them to touch our lives as well.
