Pilgrimage Activities
To complete this stop of the virtual pilgrimage, take a step toward living in solidarity with our Ethiopian brothers and sisters and set aside time to do one or more of the pilgrimage activities!
Make an Ethiopian dinner!
Trying other types of food is a great way to get to know other cultures a little better. Visit the recipe page from Operation Rice Bowl and the African Cookbook at the University of Pennsylvania's website to learn more about cooking Ethiopian!
Reading and Reflection
Read any two of the Stories from the Field on the CRS website. Can you imagine living in the shoes of the people in these stories? What strikes you both about CRS Staff and the people they work in partnership with? Could you see yourself one day going overseas to do this kind of work yourself?
Get Informed!
By becoming informed about the work the American Catholic Church is doing in Ethiopia and around the globe you give yourself all the information you need to take a stand and get involved. Begin by visiting the CRS Ethiopia web page to learn more about Ethiopia and the work of Catholic Relief Services in this country.
Pray!
One way to express solidarity is through our common prayer for each other. Use the prayer reflection provided and take a moment each day in the month ahead to hold our Ethiopian brothers and sisters in prayer.
