Jesus said, “Let the little children come to me, and do not hinder them, for the kingdom of heaven belongs to such as these.”
Matthew 19:13-14
Our goal at Prince of Peace is to lead our children and their families closer to the love and knowledge of God and His Wondrous gifts, and create in them a desire to be lifelong followers of Christ.
Our vision for children is that they will know Christ; understand His word, grow in their own understanding of the Catholic faith; participate in the sacraments, and be able to share the love of Christ with others.
Sunday classes are full for the
2024-2025 school year.
PLEASE JOIN US NEXT YEAR! REGISTRATION BEGINS JULY 1, 2025
Please note: If your child has not been baptized please contact Sue Mann (contact information below) prior to registering for classes.
A Message from Rev. Michael Forge, Pastor
“The best preparation parents can give their child is to practice and live the faith. One of the most important ways to do this is regular attendance at Mass. An integral part of our children’s faith formation is participation in Sunday Liturgy. Talk with your child about Mass before you go and at appropriate moments in the actual celebration when you are in church together. Emphasize that the Mass is God’s family celebrating a sacred meal. While completing lessons during Sunday school is important for learning practical knowledge, faith should also be experienced. To be part of the parish family and to worship together each Sunday is to be part of faith in action.
Parents, we thank you for partnering with us in the spiritual formation of your children. See you all at Mass!"
coming September 15, 2024.

Catechist/Volunteer Information:
Being a Catechist means putting your own faith on display. It is an amazing opportunity to have a real impact on the lives of young people. What a wonderful thing if you think about it. To have the chance to instill a deeper faith in a classroom full of children…what better vocation is there than to help young people grow in their faith?
We provide an easy-to-use manual with detailed instruction for each week's lesson. We limit our class size to about 20 students and the children gather by grade level.
