INVITE A FRIEND TO MASS
At Prince of Peace, our motto of All Are Welcome, is more than a mantra. Sharing the love of God and welcoming all his children is at the heart of our mission. One of the most beautiful ways to do this is by inviting friends, neighbors, and loved ones to join us in worship, fellowship, and spiritual growth. Our church isn't just a place of worship; it's a place of belonging, a place where you and your friends can find spiritual nourishment, lasting friendships, and a sense of purpose.
We understand that extending an invitation to your friends can sometimes feel like a significant step, especially if they are not Catholic, but it's a step filled with love and grace. An easy place to start is with a friend or loved one that doesn’t belong to any church. Tell them a story about how you were touched by a particular message shared in the homily. Or perhaps a song at Mass really touched you and share how much you enjoyed the music. Maybe invite them to a bible study or one of our many outreach volunteer opportunities such as preparing meals for our Food For Our Journey ministry.
So, whether you're a longtime member or someone recently new to the faith, we invite you to explore the ways you can reach out to your friends and introduce them to the wonderful experience of worshiping and growing with us. Together, let's open our hearts and our church doors to all those seeking spiritual connection and a loving community. Welcome others to join our journey of faith, friendship, and love at Prince of Peace.

Hey friend! Last Sunday I heard our priest talk about how we are unconditionally loved by God, right where we are. It gave me such a sense of comfort that I just wanted to share it with you. If you’re looking for something to do, I would love for you to come with me to Mass next Sunday. It’s such a vibrant church I think you would enjoy it.

Hey friend! Last week at church I participated in this great ministry that packs food for the homeless. We had such fun and it felt so good to be doing something meaningful for others. I thought it would be a good way for us to spend some time together. It only takes an hour and is so rewarding. Will you consider going with me next time? I’d love to sign us up together.
Hey friend! I’ve heard you were recuperating and not able to get out of the house for a while. I wanted to let you know my church, Prince of Peace, livestreams their Mass every Sunday at 8:30am on our website at popcatholic.org. I love the word of encouragement I get from the priest’s sermons and thought you may find them uplifting as well. I hope you’ll consider checking it out. If you have any questions, please let me know. I’ll be saying a prayer for your recovery.
