Building a missionary Church
The Center John Paul II. sees itself as a missionary community of disciples of Jesus, as a „parish of tomorrow“, reaching the unchurched, capacitating them for missionary discipleship and helping other parishes to do the same.
We are a donor-funded community looking for partners to build a movement of missionary parishes in the German speaking world and beyond.

The new John Paul II. Center in Praterstrasse
5 loaves 2 fishes
Zentrum Johannes Paul II Support Group
Who does not know the story? Many people, no food and a little boy with 5 barley loaves and 2 fish. God does not need much, only generosity – and already he can work miracles. In this sense we thank all the supporters of the center John Paul 2 sincerely for their participation in the miracle of God. We would be happy to send you our newsletter to keep you up to date.

5 Loaves 2 Fish: WHAT IT’S ALL ABOUT
- A Christian is convinced that, in the end, nothing truly belongs to him, but that he is a steward of God’s gifts. He understands his right to private property as a responsibility for what has been entrusted to his hands. It is a call to solidarity and generosity, to make abundant use of these gifts for the good of others. “The righteous give without sparing.” (Prov 21:26)
- The support circle “5 Loaves 2 Fish” offers a concrete way to live out this generosity. It is made up of people who regularly support the Zentrum financially. Every contribution makes it possible to carry out the vision and mission of the Zentrum and enables responsible planning for our community.
- The Zentrum Johannes Paul II is a Catholic community in the heart of Vienna. It is a place where people encounter God and one another, where they discover and develop their talents and gifts, and put them to use for others. It is a place of empowerment, helping people to become the best version of themselves and to bring the Gospel to the world. That’s why our vision is: “Forming apostles to transform the world.” One way this is already being realized is by supporting and inspiring other communities in their establishment and renewal.
Without the financial contributions of our support circle, our community would not be what it already is today — nor what it can become in the future! Your support makes a tangible difference in people’s lives — here in this city and beyond!
