 February 24, 2022 Dear Friends in Christ, As we continue our efforts to invite people to come home to Mass, we must make attempts to help all members of our parish community feel safe and welcome to return. As such, parishes will keep at least one area of the church designated as seating where social distancing and mask wearing are required through the end of March. All parishioners are encouraged to wear a mask while attending Mass. Our parish communities are strengthened when we join together in our celebration of the Eucharist. Please join me in these efforts as we invite our brothers and sisters home. Sincerely yours in Christ, Most Reverend David J. Walkowiak Bishop of Grand Rapids

Dear Friends in Christ, God invites each one of us to a loving relationship with Him. During the holy season of Lent, we focus in an intentional way on turning away from sin and toward God to grow in this relationship. The Lenten pillars of prayer, fasting and almsgiving help us do this. A simple way to practice these pillars is through the Catholic Relief Services’ (CRS) Rice Bowl program. This small cardboard box holds many opportunities. Participating in the Rice Bowl program enables young Catholics to see how small change can add up to become a worthy gift. It provides families the opportunity to create meals from countries whose people benefit from Catholic Relief Services’ programs. It provides all of us with an opportunity to reflect on the needs of our sisters and brothers and how we can respond in love. But most importantly, with the support of families like yours, other families will receive an opportunity to reach their God-given potential when they receive the nutritious food needed to thrive. The Rice Bowl program also has a local impact. Twenty-five percent of contributions collected through the program remain here in our diocese. Last year’s CRS Rice Bowl contributions helped four local organizations receive funding for food and poverty alleviation programs, including St. Ann’s Bread of Life Food Pantry in Baldwin, Community Food Club of Grand Rapids, the St. Gianna Baby Pantry in Muskegon through Catholic Charities West Michigan, and St. Mary’s Caritas Food Pantry in Custer. The COVID-19 pandemic has adversely affected the financial situation of many. Thank you for your Lenten sacrifices that allow CRS Rice Bowl to reach people in need. Visit crsricebowl.org to find out more. Together, we can respond to Christ’s call to help those in need of food and nutrition. Sincerely yours in Christ, Most Reverend David J. Walkowiak Bishop of Grand Rapids Ash Wednesday, March 2, 2022
