        How saints like Mother Teresa and King Louis the 9th of France shared a true devotion for the Eucharist.
        
        How the Eucharist is the perfect thanksgiving and the perfect praise of God.
        
        How we participate in the sacrifice of the Mass and celebration of the Eucharist.

Charity on Wheels

"St Nicholas Charity on Wheels" van stops in the parking lot of St. Joseph in Marseilles on the 3rd Tuesday of the month at 10am.

The van distributes items that are not traditionally distributed by the Food Pantry but are often needed: blankets, towels, school supplies, socks, gloves, baby clothes, diapers, toothpaste, soap, shampoo, etc. There's actually a Wish List on Amazon for them (St. Nicholas Charity on Wheels-Amazon Wish List).

In addition to the Amazon Wish List, items can be dropped off during the distribution or at our office (Monday-Thursday, 9am to 2pm).
