Upcoming Lenten fish fry dinners in the Archdiocese of Oklahoma City

As Catholics, the spiritual pillars of prayer, fasting and almsgiving guide people in daily reflection during the 40 days of Lent. Lent is an opportunity for people to reflect on their lives as they strive to deepen their relationship with God and neighbor — no matter where in the world that neighbor may live. Lent is a time of personal and spiritual growth, a time to look outward and inward. One simple way to enhance the Lenten practice is to participate in the CRS Rice Bowl program. During Lent, Catholics and families across the United States use a Rice Bowl — a small cardboard box—to pray, fast and collect alms in support of their people living in poverty around the world. Each Rice Bowl comes with a calendar that guides families through the 40 days of Lent with activities and reflections connected to our global family. Go to crsricebowl.org for information, prayers, stories and activities to enhance the Lenten practice. To order Rice Bowls: crsricebowl.org/resources/order-crs-rice-bowl-materials or 1 (800) 222-0025. Materials are available in English and Spanish.

Desde mi nombramiento como arzobispo hace 15 años, no he dejado de rezar por un nuevo Pentecostés que conduzca a una nueva evangelización en Oklahoma, una renovación que conmueva los corazones para un encuentro más profundo con el Verbo encarnado y una decisión consciente de seguir a Jesucristo.

Since my installation as archbishop 15 years ago, I have not ceased praying for a new Pentecost leading to a New Evangelization in Oklahoma, a renewal that would stir in hearts a deeper encounter with the Word made flesh and a conscious decision to follow Jesus Christ.
