Welcome to Prince of Peace Catholic Church,
Most Sorrowful Mother of God
& Saint Patrick Chapel
On Jan. 16 and 17, 2021, Prince of Peace will be welcoming Fr. George Knab from Unbound.
"To spread the joy of the Gospel, Pope Francis wants believers to double-down the practice of the corporal and spiritual works of mercy. Within a faith community, I find joy in preaching a Gospel message that promotes sponsorship as a sign of divine mercy to the children of the poor. I cherish the opportunities Unbound is giving me to proclaim joyfully that sponsorship is a concrete sign of God’s mercy." — Father Knab
I want to share Unbound with you! I support the work this amazing organization does around the world and I’d like you to consider joining me. We believe that people living in poverty can overcome the challenges they face when we all work together. Thank you for helping me make a difference!

The Indiana bishops will continue to monitor the situation to determine when it might be advisable to modify or lift the dispensation,” said an Oct. 19 statement of the bishops from the Province of Indianapolis, which includes the Archdiocese of Indianapolis and the Dioceses of Gary, Evansville, Fort Wayne-South Bend, and Lafayette.
Archbishop Charles C. Thompson said, “Both clergy and laity must make every effort to maintain the availability of open churches and public liturgies by following public health guidelines and employing various safety protocols,” including:
- The wearing of face coverings;

- Enhanced cleaning measures.
“Further guidelines, due to local situations, may be necessary for a particular parish,” Archbishop Thompson added.
