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. false true 194173 98003 At the heart of the organization is our mission trips to Mustard Seed Communities, a home for abandoned children with disabilities in Jamaica. Mustard Seed provides loving and life-long care for over 600 residents. These trips have proven to be transformational for the high school and college students who have attended. Our mission team members realized very quickly that while they went to Jamaica to serve the residents at Mustard Seed, it was the residents who were helping us. Their gratitude and infectious joy was transforming our hearts and teaching us how to love. In addition to organizing these mission trips, we also sought to provide opportunities for our participants to serve the most vulnerable in Pittsburgh. 426688 10023 Another goal is to bring back a missionary charism of care for the most vulnerable to Pittsburgh and to help create a culture that recognizes the dignity of all people, in particular people with intellectual and developmental disabilities (IDD). They are a tremendous blessing for our community. We have realized this goal through the formation of Brother Andre's Cafe, a coffee shop that employs adults with IDD. While those with disabilities are not being abandoned in the streets of Pittsburgh like they were in Kingston, many persons with IDD do not feel welcomed into the broader community and have a difficult time finding their niche in society. The purpose of Brother Andre's is to provide meaningful employment for adults with IDD and to create an avenue for them to share their love and joy with the world. The cafe also seeks to be a place of Catholic community, especially for the broader IDD community through enrichment and educational events. In 2022 we increased to 13 employees with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities. We launched an Occupational Therapy Vocational Program to help our employees gain confidence and grow in independence in the workplace. In October of 2023 we received a grant from the Edith L. Trees Foundation to fund the opening of a second cafe location at Assumption Church in Bellevue. We begin the design and build out of the cafe in 2024 and begin training new team members. Opening the new cafe enabled us to employ 12 more adults with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities bringing our total to 25. In 2024, We began preparing to open a second caf location, which would enable us to hire more team members with Intellectual and Developmental Disabilities (IDD) and expand our impact. This build-out was completed with the new location officially opening in March 2025. In support of this growth, we significantly expanded our baking capacity and adjusted our operational approach by transitioning the bakery from a standalone production unit to an integrated supplier serving both caf locations through internal purchasing. This shift has enhanced operational efficiency, strengthened team collaboration, and allowed us to employ an additional 12 team members with IDD, bringing our total bakery workforce to 25, furthering our mission of meaningful employment and community inclusion. 7221 In addition to coordinating annual mission trips to Mustard Seed Communities and other similar charitable organizations, Move a Mountain Missions exists to help raise awareness of the needs of people in developing nations, in particular the needs of those who are mentally and/or physically challenged. To accomplish this goal, the Organization will support projects being undertaken by other established US based charitable organizations who share our common vision of caring for the most vulnerable. 620861 true true false false false false false false false false true false false false true true false false false false true true false false true false false true false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false false true 9 0 true 34 true false false false false false true true false X 12 12 true false false false false false false true false false true true true true false false true false PA X LAWRENCE WARGO 4129164373 164 WASHINGTON PLACE PITTSBURGH PA 15219 DANIEL GALLAGHER EXECUTIVE DIRECTOR 30.0 0.0 X 80000 0 0 Father CHRISTOPHER DONLEY PRESIDENT 5.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 JAY CARSON VICE PRESIDENT 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Caroline Sczweck SECRETARY 2.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 lawrence wargo treASURER 5.0 0.0 X X 0 0 0 Chris Cuba BOARD MEMBER 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 SARA M DONLEY BOARD MEMBER 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Mike Fitzgerald BOARD MEMBER 5.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Gloria Hudock BOARD MEMBER 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 William Talerico BOARD MEMBER 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 RAYMOND WERNER BOARD MEMBER 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 Regina Donahue BOARD MEMBER 2.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 tamara tucker BOARD MEMBER 0.0 0.0 X 0 0 0 80000 0 0 0 false false false 0 121640 480378 602018 BROTHER ANDRES 900099 10023 10023 OTHER PROGRAM REVENUE 900099 7221 7221 17244 13335 13335 0 0 0 0 0 176700 73143 103557 103557 103557 55562 121640 17357 38205 38205 0 0 0 335649 172282 163367 163367 0 937726 17244 318464 98003 98003 0 76073 76073 0 80000 33825 10938 35237 0 285778 120830 39072 125876 0 22899 9682 3131 10086 32760 13851 4479 14430 0 4261 4261 29041 29041 0 0 0 6190 6190 11834 10871 963 15225 4576 10649 14446 312 14134 0 28500 28500 70064 70064 0 0 0 0 40152 40152 3352 3352 MISSION EXPENSES 19504 19504 BROTHER ANDRE'S CAFE 81598 79958 1640 TAX & LICENSE 885 635 250 REPAIRS & MAINTENANCE 19789 1050 18739 15327 2524 12803 955681 620861 149191 185629 711444 244124 289908 204087 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 105422 107098 318844 52590 108543 266254 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 1215317 821563 15006 14929 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 0 297822 30687 312828 45616 X 902489 775947 0 0 902489 775947 1215317 821563 -17955 -106921 -1666 X X true X false true false X 317645 289244 682532 860460 602017 2751898 0 0 317645 289244 682532 860460 602017 2751898 687746 2064152 6063 6326 9983 24174 13335 59881 18208 29871 38240 38205 124524 0 2936303 1130988 0.70298 0.67880 X RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED RESTRICTED 318844 52590 266254 266254 0 OTHER LIABILITIES 30687 30687 1020444 -106921 189639 82718 937726 937726 1145320 189639 189639 955681 955681 Oth Amts included in financials not in the return Revenue cost of goods sold ($172,282) Fundraising Expense ($17,357) Oth Amts included in financials not in the return Expense cost of goods sold ($172,282) Fundraising Expense ($17,357) PART X, LINE 2: The Organization is a not-for-profit organization that is exempt from income taxes under Section 501(a)(1) of the Internal Revenue Code (IRC) and qualifies as an organization described in IRC Section 501 (c)(3).
