Welcome to Prince of Peace
For over 30 years, Prince of Peace Catholic Parish has been serving the families of Plano, TX. Led by pastor, Father Michael Forge, our parish is a vibrant Catholic community of over 2000 families and an elementary school, Prince of Peace Catholic School.
Our parishioners are known both for their generosity and hospitality - fruits we believe come from a strong relationship with Jesus Christ and the sacramental life. Wherever you are in your faith journey, we are confident that you will find your home here. From all of us at POP, welcome!

About Family Ministry Nights
We are excited to announce that starting on September 20th, we will be introducing a weekly Ministry Night! To ensure that more families can join us, we are offering FREE childcare on Wednesday nights from 6PM to 9PM for any on-campus parish ministry activities. Please remember that nursery spots are limited and will be allocated on a first-come, first-serve basis. Ministry leaders must coordinate with their staff liaison ahead of time to secure childcare for their participants. If you are interested in starting a new ministry to take advantage of our Ministry Night childcare, please contact Lauren Scheller (lscheller@popplano.org) or Michael Muldowney (mmuldowney@popplano.org) to get started!
