First Holy Communion is April 13 at the 9AM and 11AM Masses. Please be sure and take a Prayer Partner from the narthex of the church and pray for one of our students as they receive their First Holy Communion.
Registration for next year: I look forward to ending this year successfully; thank you for all your cooperation. We will be accepting registrations and fees for next year starting April 16. We recommend you register and pay your fee early to guarantee your child’s place and preferred class time. No need to fill out a new registration form; just pay the fee of $50 per child; $140 maximum per family. Make checks payable to Prince of Peace. A copy of your child’s Baptism certificate is required at registration if we do not have it already on file. Please notify the RE department of any changes in your family’s information. Please note that for Sacramental Preparation, a child must be attending religious education classes regularly and have been in a religious education program one year prior to the reception of a sacrament.
Please be reminded that there is NO Sunday School on April 13 due to First Holy Communion. Classes resume on April 20.
