Feed My Starving Children MobilePack Event held at St. John Nepomucene from December 5th – 6th

Every year millions of children die from preventable causes such as pneumonia, diarrhea, malaria and undernutrition. Today, hunger still causes nearly half of deaths in children under 5 years old. This is heartbreaking. But you can make a difference!

Through our Feed My Starving Children (FMSC) MobilePack™ event at St. John Nepomucene Catholic Community on December 5th through December 6th, our community is responding to the cries of those in need by producing 145,000 nutritious meals for kids around the world.  

Since St. John Nepomucene started hosting FMSC, this year we will collectively reach over 1 million meals!  We invite you to join us! We’re looking for 700+ volunteers to pack 145,000 meals and help us raise $45,000 for this MobilePack event. Adults and children (5 years and older) will measure and scoop ingredients, seal bags and prepare boxes for shipping.

Invite your friends, family, coworkers or school group!

Registration will open on Friday, October 24th. Visit stjn.org/feedmystarvingchildren to volunteer, donate or become an event sponsor.

As the Church prepares to celebrate All Saints and All Souls days on November 1st and November 2nd, our CIA-Faith Mission Operatives apostolate is excited to offer another powerful story of a Catholic whose life and faith were radically changed through a Near Death Experience (NDE). 

On Monday, October 20th at 7 p.m. in the Xavier Fine Arts Theatre, Ed Jozsa will present “ENCOUNTERING GOD on Death’s Doorstep”, his fascinating account of both terror and a glimpse of Heaven that occurred during and after he was crushed and trapped in his car for hours following an accident.

Coming to Appleton from Indiana, Ed will tell his story as part of the 2025-2026 Investigate Your Faith series. No tickets needed! Free will offering encouraged. For details, please visit: https://sites.google.com/site/ciafmo/events-1.
