4 Schools. 1 Mission.


When devastating floods swept through Kerr County, TX, families were left with broken homes and very few belongings to carry forward.

But hope is never far when faith and community show up.

This Monday, July 14th, from 9:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m., John Paul II High School, Bishop Lynch High School, and Bishop Dunne Catholic School are calling on North Texas to come together in Christ-like service.

Collected donations will be bussed to Notre Dame Catholic School (907 Main Street, Kerrville, TX 78028) for distribution to families in need.

We’re turning school buses into beacons of hope—filling them with essential supplies that will go straight to Kerr County families in need.
