Dear Prince of Peace Catholic Church Community,
When Jesus said “Let the children come to me,” He asked for children from all
walks of life to be at His side. Skin color, hair color, weight, height, and age—
among other things—did not matter. Jesus showered each child with love, faith,
and kindness. I believe He saw these children as His future church. He saw
them as children who would one day preach and live the gospel in His name. He
saw them as children who would one day pray as they were taught by Jesus,
Himself.
Each time I see a picture of Jesus with the children I am in awe. Each time I am
with a group of children I feel Jesus’ love and presence. As I write this letter to
all of you, as Jesus would do, I ask you to let your children come to Prince of
Peace Catholic School. Let them be a part of a school filled with Jesus’ pres-
ence and love through our teachers, our staff, and most importantly, our stu-dents.
Affording a Catholic Education might be within your reach. I take this opportunity to both encourage and
invite you to schedule an appointment at Prince of Peace Catholic School. Mrs. Lopez, our Office Manager,
along with Mrs. Dolch, our School Receptionist would be happy to share the many wonderful things happen-
ing at our school. The tour will allow you to see our students and teachers in action. You will have a chance
to meet with our administration. And finally, you would feel the academic opportunities and achievement of
Prince of Peace Catholic School.
It is a privilege to be a part of not only Prince of Peace Catholic School as the Interim Principal, but also to be
a part of such a vibrant and faith-filled church community. As I close my letter of request, I ask you to think
about a future at Prince of Peace Catholic School for your child(ren). We would love to be a part of your
child’s educational journey and formation In Faith, In Knowledge, In Friendship, For Service. Thank you for read-
ing this letter and setting up a tour and visit. I am sure you will be happy you did! Wishing you all God’s ev-
erlasting love and peace.
Blessings,
Mrs. Tully
Interim Principal

suggested title: Contagious Catholicism: The 7 Habits
of Modern-Day Apostles
Internationally acclaimed
speaker and author Chris Ste-
fanick speaks about the impor-
tance of living a life of authen-
ticity with a courageous com-
mitment to love. He walks us
through seven habits that we
can use as modern-day apos-
tles to effectively spread the good news to Jesus
Christ. Following these lessons will help us to fulfill our calling to be fearlessly, joyfully Catholic, with a
faith that is attractive, life-giving, and truly conta-
gious.

Fr. Smith extends his appreciation to the parishion-ers who generously gave to the Bishop’s Annual Ap-peal resulting in this letter from our Bishop! Dear Father Smith, As you know, the Bishop’s Annual Appeal makes it possi-ble for the Diocese to support and engage in many very important ministries. I write to you to congratulate you in your great increase from the 2016 to 2017 Annual Ap-peal collections. The record of $68,620 collected in 2017 indicates a 28.8% increase from the $53,276 raised in 2016. I want to thank you for your hard work and support in this im-portant effort. In the Lord’s Peace, Most Reverend Robert E. Guglielmone Bishop of Charleston
We ask all parishioners to pray for our First
Communicants who will be receiving their
First Holy Communion 28 April.
Dear Lord, we ask You to bless our First Communi-
cants who will soon receive the Holy Eucharist for
the first time. May You fill them with Your grace and
inspire them to imitate the saints in a time in the
world. May they be protected by our Blessed Mother
and surrounded by legions of angels as they journey
in their faith. Amen
For all those not able to receive our LORD in the Eucharist: If you are unable to receive Holy Com-munion for whatever reason, make a Spiritual Com-munion by reciting the following:
An Act of Spiritual Communion
My Jesus, I believe that You are in the Blessed Sacra-ment. I love You above all things, and I long for You in my soul. Since I cannot now receive You sacra-mentally, come at least spiritually into my heart, as though You have already come. I embrace You and unite myself entirely to You; never permit me to be
separated from You.
The Totus Tuus Potluck is scheduled for 25
July 2018. All parishioners are welcome to enjoy
an evening of fellowship, even if you do not have
children participating in the program.
