Over the past couple of weeks, we have had several major political events from the Presidential Debate to celebrating the 4th of July. Surrounding things, quite frankly, has been a lot of hot air. The one thing we need more of is prayer. Regardless of the political side you may find yourself, regardless of what you think a person should do, regardless of who you think people should vote for, the one thing we need is prayer. If you find yourself getting worked up or angry about it all, take it to prayer.

Welcome Kalee Jo, our new Middle and High School youth minister!

We have been blessed over the last couple of months to have Fr. Andrew head up the youth ministry program here. That said, we are very excited to have Kalee Jo Probasco join our family here at Prince of Peace as the new youth minister. I encourage you to get to know her. In addition to finding ways to continue to grow the high school ministry, we will be increasing our middle school ministry. Look for details to come! I’ll let Kalee Jo introduce herself:

This week, I am excited to share more about Deacon Joe Allen! Welcome (back) home to Prince of Peace, Deacon Joe!

In Christ,
Fr. Greg

In Christ,

Greetings, Prince of Peace parishioners! My name is Deacon Leon Suprenant, and I am excited to be one of the new deacons assigned to Prince of Peace parish this month!

Happy Father’s Day! Here are some inspiring Holy Father quotes about the importance of fathers:

Pope Francis: “Children need to find a father waiting for them when they come home after failing.”

“A good father knows how to wait and knows how to forgive from the depths of his heart. Certainly, he also knows how to correct with firmness: He is not a weak father, submissive and sentimental. The father who knows how to correct without humiliating is the one who knows how to protect without sparing himself.”

This weekend, we embark back into our Sundays in Ordinary Time. On Sundays following the Easter Season we celebrate the different mysteries of the Faith. After Pentecost ended the Season of Easter, we celebrated Holy Trinity Sunday, followed by Corpus Christi. As we enter back into this hallowed time, here are some fun facts about Ordinary Time:

This Sunday is Corpus Christi Sunday! The day in which we celebrate the Eucaharist as it truly is, the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ. As is common in many places throughout the Church, we are having a Eucharistic Procession through the neighborhood in order to show off that which we love the most and are the most proud of: the Eucharist. Many of our parishioners have put in a great amount of time and effort to pull this all off. If you see one of them around in the coming weeks, I ask that you thank them for all the work they have done.
