“Hace 20 años llegamos a Houston con esperanza, pero también con nostalgia. En Prince of Peace encontramos refugio, consuelo y una nueva familia en la fe. Aquí, nuestros hijos recibieron sus sacramentos y crecimos como familia, participando en ministerios, retiros y servicios. Mi vida cambió a través de ACTS; encontré renovación espiritual y hermandad. He servido como lector, ministro de la Sagrada Comunión, acólito y en el Consejo Pastoral. Junto a mi esposa, acompañamos a parejas al matrimonio. Hoy puedo decir que Prince of Peace es nuestro hogar espiritual, donde hemos ofrecido nuestras tres T’s: Tiempo, Talento y Tesoro. ¡Dios lo transforma todo!”

“I’m a lifelong Catholic, retired nurse, mother, and joyful member of Prince of Peace. Though my faith was steady for years, it wasn’t until I attended an ACTS retreat that my heart truly awakened. Here, I found not just a parish but a faith-filled family. Serving as a Eucharistic Minister and retreat team member has brought me deeper into the arms of Christ. Since retiring, I’ve grown in prayer, scripture, and community. Now, each day, I joyfully say: “Here I am, Lord. I come to do Your will.” He truly transforms everything!”
Raleigh & Nicole Starbuck
“We’re both recent converts to the Catholic faith. After discovering the fullness of truth in Catholicism, we found Prince of Peace and were immediately impressed. The clergy—priests and deacons—are dedicated servants of God who lovingly guided us through every step of our conversion and continue to be supportive. The lay staff is equally wonderful, including the teachers at the preschool our children attend. Beyond Sunday and weekday Mass, the parish offers adoration, sacraments, formation programs, and many volunteer opportunities. It’s easy to get involved, and we’ve become active parishioners. Prince of Peace is a blessing to the Catholic community, and we are grateful to be part of it.”
José y Manuela Saldaña
“Desde 2019, formamos parte de la comunidad de Prince of Peace, buscando siempre a Dios. A través del servicio y los programas que la iglesia nos ofrece, hemos experimentado una transformación profunda en nuestras vidas, tanto como matrimonio, padres, abuelos, hermanos e hijos de Dios. En este lugar, tuvimos nuestro encuentro con Él en los retiros espirituales y ministerios, donde descubrimos la bondad y el amor de Dios. Nuestra iglesia, al igual que Él, desea que encontremos la salvación y la verdad. Solo faltaba nuestro compromiso y perseverancia para seguir el camino que Él y Prince of Peace nos ofrecían con los brazos abiertos. “Creemos que Dios escoge a sus siervos desde antes de nacer. Nos sentimos indignos de servir, pero Él es misericordioso.”
¡Un fuerte abrazo! Las puertas de Prince of Peace siempre están abiertas para usted.”

“Prince of Peace nos ha ayudado a mi familia y a mí a encontrar un Jesús vivo que siempre está dispuesto a encontrarnos y a perdonar nuestras faltas. Esta parroquia acogedora que busca hacer sentir a sus miembros el amor de Dios a través de los sacramentos, diversos horarios de misas, actividades familiares, grupos parroquiales y asistencia con el cuidado infantil. Hemos encontrado una comunidad de hermandad siempre dispuesta a ayudarse unos a otros, como Cristo nos ha enseñado.”
Tyler Scroggs
“My experience at Prince of Peace has been truly uplifting and enriching. The inclusive community, intentional liturgy, and meaningful opportunities to serve have deeply touched my life. It’s a place where faith blossoms, friendships flourish, and hope shines brightly. I am grateful for the
spiritual nourishment and sense of belonging I have found here.”
Kimberly Moreno
“I moved from New Jersey to Houston around May 2023. After visiting various parishes, I found that I am spiritually connected to Prince of Peace, and it has become my new parish. There are a lot of ministries and events here that will help you form your faith. I come almost every day for Mass and adoration. I’m now involved with a lot of the events here where I can share my testimony and find myself starting to serve the youth ministry. Everyone here is very welcoming and spiritually amazing, especially the priests. I encourage everyone to check this parish out!”

“Prince of Peace is a place that will always be in my heart, as it is a blessing to be part of such a wonderful and welcoming community filled with the love of God. Here at POP, my family and I keep growing in our faith by serving and being involved in the parish. POP has helped us grow together in our relationship with God.”
Kenrick and Lizzi Piercy
“We both grew up attending Prince of Peace, and our formation as children was so beautiful and an integral part of our lives that it was an easy choice to continue that path with our daughter. We feel a sense of community here; to celebrate our joys and grieve our sorrows. We feel prayed over, we feel accepted and we are able to worship as a family. We are blessed to call Prince of Peace home.”
