Greetings, Prince of Peace parishioners! My name is Deacon Leon Suprenant, and I am excited to be one of the new deacons assigned to Prince of Peace parish this month!

Happy Father’s Day! Here are some inspiring Holy Father quotes about the importance of fathers:

Pope Francis: “Children need to find a father waiting for them when they come home after failing.”

“A good father knows how to wait and knows how to forgive from the depths of his heart. Certainly, he also knows how to correct with firmness: He is not a weak father, submissive and sentimental. The father who knows how to correct without humiliating is the one who knows how to protect without sparing himself.”

This weekend, we embark back into our Sundays in Ordinary Time. On Sundays following the Easter Season we celebrate the different mysteries of the Faith. After Pentecost ended the Season of Easter, we celebrated Holy Trinity Sunday, followed by Corpus Christi. As we enter back into this hallowed time, here are some fun facts about Ordinary Time:

This Sunday is Corpus Christi Sunday! The day in which we celebrate the Eucaharist as it truly is, the Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity of Our Lord Jesus Christ. As is common in many places throughout the Church, we are having a Eucharistic Procession through the neighborhood in order to show off that which we love the most and are the most proud of: the Eucharist. Many of our parishioners have put in a great amount of time and effort to pull this all off. If you see one of them around in the coming weeks, I ask that you thank them for all the work they have done.

Happy Easter and Congratulations to our youth who received their First Holy Communion this weekend! This Sunday is the eighth day of the Octave of Easter, so it is still considered Easter Day itself. So keep celebrating. This Sunday is also known as Divine Mercy Sunday.
