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

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.

2025 Walk to Mary will be held on Saturday, May 3rd

2025 Walk to Mary will be held on Saturday, May 3rd

The Walk to Mary starts at 7:00 am at Old St. Joseph Church on St. Norbert College campus. There is a prayer service and blessing before the walk starts. Click here for the schedule of events.

The Walk to Mary has become a pilgrimage like no other in the world.  We start with St. Joseph (at the National Shrine of St. Joseph) and walk to Mary (at the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion) to get to Jesus.  Our annual pilgrimage has impacted lives and filled hearts with many blessings from the Holy Family. 

The 22 mile walk spiritually prepares us for our destination – America’s only Church-approved Marian apparition site, where in 1859, the Blessed Mother appeared to Adele Brise on the site of the National Shrine of Our Lady of Champion in Champion, Wisconsin.
