Move a Mountain Missions
Move A Mountain Missions is a non-profit organization rooted in the Catholic faith and inspired by the healing and caring ministry of Jesus. It is our goal to provide genuine encounters with Christ through service to the most vulnerable. We seek to achieve this by organizing mission trips to Mustard Seed Communities, a home for abandoned children with disabilities and raising funds for specific projects to benefit the residents at Mustard Seed. We also seek to bring a missionary charism of care for the most vulnerable, especially those with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD) to Pittsburgh. We accomplish this primarily through Brother Andre's Cafe, a coffee shop that employs adults with IDD.
