Financial Stewardship In today’s second reading, St. Paul encourages us not
to grow weary or lose heart, but to persevere in following Jesus. Our willingness to give of ourselves,
even in the face of conflict and division, is one way to measure our discipleship.

Columbarium Expansion Everyone needs a final resting place, and now Prince of Peace will be able to accommodate this need for more parishioners as we
add 144 niches to The Circle of Life Columbarium. Before construction begins we are offering our remaining 8 niches for $2295.00.
There will be a price increase for the newly constructed sections.
Many people are turning to cremation as an economical, dignified way to be laid in their final resting place. The complete Catholic
service is used at the funeral Mass with the cremains. It is both comforting and strengthening to have a place of remembrance for
loved ones, and a measure of peace drawn from the time-honored practice of burial in the shadow of the church. For more
information access www.popcatholic.org and click on “Columbarium” to view FAQs, or contact the Parish office.
The Prince of Peace community would like to extend our sympathy to Gary Tate and his family on
the death of his father, Olen Tate, to Kathy Flemming and her family on the death of her brother,
Don Roepke, and to Greg Powell and his family on the death of his father, Ray Powell. Our thoughts
and prayers are with you.
Scriptural Rosary A Scriptural Rosary recital is held at 8:30 am on the first Saturday of each month in the Day Chapel. In the Scriptural Rosary, one or two lines from the Bible are said before each Hail Mary. The whole rosary takes about 25 minutes. Please bring your family, children and friends on September 7. All you have to do is join in saying the Our Father, Hail Mary and Glory Be or just pray along silently.

Being a Grandparent Being a grandparent is potentially
one of life’s great joys. But the role of
a grandparent can vary widely. Some
grandparents live a great distance
away and have a more limited role
while others live closer and are able to take an
active role in raising their grandchildren and still
some literally raise their grandchildren. Join us on
Wednesday, September 11 at 6:30 pm in Deasy
Hall with Dr. Dale Wisely as he guides a discussion
about the art of being a good grandparent.
Young Families All are welcome! Come join us for a Family Game Night! We will meet Sunday, September 8 at 6:00 pm in the St. Jude Room. Bring your family’s favorite game to share. Dinner will be served. For more information, please contact Kristina Theall at 205.218.9125.
