Welcome to Prince of Peace
For over 30 years, Prince of Peace Catholic Parish has been serving the families of Plano, TX. Led by pastor, Father Michael Forge, our parish is a vibrant Catholic community of over 2000 families and an elementary school, Prince of Peace Catholic School.
Our parishioners are known both for their generosity and hospitality - fruits we believe come from a strong relationship with Jesus Christ and the sacramental life. Wherever you are in your faith journey, we are confident that you will find your home here. From all of us at POP, welcome!
