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 250 . 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 "Steering Committee," and hopefully, Phase 2, which will consist of a 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.
