The St. Therese Conference of the St. Vincent de Paul Society has been an integral group of St. Therese Parish since the Parish began in 1949.  Fifty (50+) members, organized into 12 teams, serve the hungry in north Lansing by operating its food pantry, a satellite of the Lansing Food Bank, every weekday.
 Our north-Lansing clients select food and personal items they need from our pantry shelves stocked from:

1. The Greater Lansing Food Bank (at a greatly reduced price)
2. Meijers (using their Simply Give program cards)
3. Donations of food, personal and household items from our own parish families
4. Donations of tooth brushes from Delta Dental
5. Donations of women's sanitary products from Period.com

We have had to suspend our aid for beds & mattresses, utilities and rent to make sure that we can continue to stock our shelves with food for north-Lansing families, well over 200 mouths each month.
We have a corporate meeting every 2 months and a picnic every September.
We  always accept new members to join our Conference.

Charity, Unity and Fraternity are three guiding principles of the Knights of Columbus.  
 Our Council has thirty-six (36) members and is always seeking new members ages of 18 and older. You must be a practicing Catholic to be inducted into our group. 
 The New Knights of Columbus membership allows inductees to participate in three degree-level programs, each video about thirty minutes long.  At the end of the training sessions you are eligible to hold an office in the council. 
 St. Therese Knights are involved in almost every aspect of our St. Therese Parish family from the Food Pantry, Lectors, Greeters, Ushers, Eucharist Ministers, Choir, Pancake Breakfasts, Anti-Dismemberment Petition and many special projects.  We raise money for Seminarians, children with special needs and other community projects. 
 We meet one Monday a month at 7:00 pm.
