Holy Scripture and the teachings of the Catholic Church are the guides for the Retreats.

Adoration of the Blessed Sacrament Wednesdays and Fridays
Participate in adoration of the Blessed Sacrament in the Chapel one or
two days per week. Participants generally sign up for a recurring one hour slot
at the same time each week.
Take time to pray for your special intentions
and the needs and intentions of our parish, nation and world. Be open to
God's plan for your own life. It's also an opportunity to unite in friendship and
understanding with other members of the community.
We constantly need adorers and especially substitutes to fill in on short notice.
You are welcome to drop in at any time.
Remember, Jesus prayed constantly and showed us how to pray.
"Could you not watch one hour with me?" Mk 14:37
Begins Wednesdays after 9am Mass & Fridays after 7am Mass in Chapel.

Pilgrimages
Prince of Peace members have been enriched by 3 recent trips to the Holy Land and also to Italy with Father Mike or Deacon Steve. Organized
by Issa Qumsieh [Holy Land Travel Co.], a Bethlehem-Palestinian and member of our parish, we had a unique opportunity to experience many major Christian sites from the
ageless city of Old Jerusalem to the unforgettable areas around the Sea of Galilee where Jesus performed so
many of His miracles.
Scripture takes on a more personal meaning for those who have been there.
