Who We Are
The Prince of Peace Pathfinders is a parish-wide effort to involve individuals, families and groups of all ages in hands-on volunteer activities with various organizations, including food banks, ecumenical ministries for the poor and homeless, Catholic Charities and the Catholic Diocese, Habitat for Humanity and other area agencies. We also offer minor repairs and lawn maintenance and run errands for those who need help within our own community. Our mission is to grow servant hearts and friendships by praying, studying Scripture and keeping our hands busy through service as we find our path in the footsteps of Christ.

It was a great Saturday as members of the POP Young Adult ministry and Pathfinders joined Minnie's Food Pantry of Plano to load 10,000+ Thanksgiving meals in cars for families in Collin County where food insecurity is growing each year. Energy was high beginning at dawn as we sang, danced and greeted and served families struggling to find their next meal.
This past Saturday, our dedicated Ministry Leaders at Prince of Peace gathered in our brand new Parish Hall for the third annual Ministry Leader Orientation, and it was nothing short of spectacular!
Thank you to all our awesome Prince of Peace volunteers who have been dedicating their Saturdays to a multi-phased home repair project for a widow in Plano who has cancer and needs our help. Our POP volunteers have been working alongside parishioners with St. Elizabeth Seton and St. Mark the Evangelist in Plano on the project led by Habitat for Humanity Collin County.
It was cold but the energy was high Saturday morning as POP Young Adults and POP Pathfinders joined forces with hundreds of area volunteers to load turkeys and boxes of food into cars lined up for miles at Minnieβs Food Pantry in East Plano. Their service of love helped provide Thanksgiving dinner for upwards of 4,000 hungry and needy families in surrounding communities. Servant hearts are grateful hearts.
This past Saturday nearly 50 of our parish ministry leaders gathered for our second annual Ministry Leader Orientation event!
