  4. • Visit the imprisoned

  5. • Give drink to the thirsty

  6. • Shelter the homeless

  7. • Bury the dead

 
 

Hello!  I’m Fr. Larry Rice, the Director of the St. Thomas More Newman Center at the Ohio State University.  On this site you’ll find information about me, recent homilies, podcasts, blogs, photos, and other stuff as I find time post here.
