JPII Life Center
A Life Saving Mission
The St. JPII Life Center was started in 2010 by Tim and Pat Von Dohlen and Chris and Sheri Danze. Inspired by the life and works of Pope John Paul II and the desire to help women facing unplanned pregnancies, they came together to promote the dignity of life and importance of family in the healthcare and education industries.
Seedling Foundation

Girl Scouts of Central Texas
No adventure is too big for a Girl Scout.
Every Girl Scout has their own curiosity, dreams, and talents—so when they come together to decide which of the thousands of Girl Scout activities to try, the sky’s the limit. Whether visiting an animal shelter, camping, hosting a dance-off, or filming a movie—they’re learning to take risks, trust their gut, and team up with others for good.
The Knights of Colombus
Charity- Founded on the principles of charity, unity and fraternity, the Knights of Columbus was established in 1882
Charity is at the heart of our work and our faith-and it always has been. For the Knights of Colombus, charity means supporting a virtually boundless variety of projects. Our commitment to charitable service is just one of the many ways that we express our Catholic faith. We are here to build a daily bridge back to what matters, for our members and fellow Catholics.

Mobile Loaves & Fishes
Mobile Loaves & Fishes is a Christian social outreach ministry in Austin, Texas
MLF is a social outreach ministry for the homeless founded in 1998 as a ministry of St. John Neumann and became a 501(c)(3) nonprofit in 2000. The idea of using catering trucks to distribute food was planted by a conversation one of our founders had with a fellow parishioner, and the rest, as they say, is history. He shared his idea with the four original founders, and before they knew it both prayers and cash were being offered in support.
