We are a
simple Christian based community rooted in part to Christ's greatest commandment to
love our neighbor as our self; the other part---while loving God with our
whole heart, mind and soul. Our parish began
as a mission church of the cathedral to our Diocese of Tyler, Texas in
1994. Hearing that many Catholics were living in Whitehouse, Texas, and its surrounding areas of Bullard, Arp,
Troup and Flint who
were seeking to have a local place to worship, certain members of the
Catholic community began working on establishing a mission church.
When the mission began, 37 families were present. The faithful decided
to name the mission Prince of Peace.
Today, Prince of Peace has moved from a mission status to a parish status
with the number of registered families now totaling close to 300 . As we continue to
grow, we thank all our past, present, and future benefactors who gave,
continue to give, and will be giving of
their love offerings, time, and sacrifices to
Prince of Peace and its mission to continue the
spiritual and corporal works of mercy.
Our most current and exciting news: after years of praying
and
working together as a community to build a permanent Church on Hwy.
346 in Whitehouse, we are finally occupying our newly constructed
worship space---thanks be to God. We have recently
re-established a "Building Committee," and hopefully, Phase 2, which
will consist of a two-story Family Life Center, offices, and classrooms will be
completed within the
near future. God's peace and blessings to all who have
participated in our building projects and parish growth.
