Prince of Peace Roman Catholic Church was founded on the Feast of Our Lady of Guadalupe, 12 December 1975.  In September 2003 Bishop Robert Baker dedicated our large new church.

The Mass and Sacraments are celebrated at Prince of Peace in the Ordinary and Extraordinary Forms of the Roman Rite.  Prince of Peace enjoys a leadership role in Upstate South Carolina as the only parish which celebrates Mass regularly in two forms and in two languages, English and Latin.  The parish has been featured on The New Liturgical Movement blog for its commitment to restoring the sacred in worship.

Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament began in 2005 with the Guild of St Thomas Aquinas.  Please consider signing up for an hour of quiet prayer in front of Our LORD present in the Holy Eucharist.  Prince of Peace is a House of Prayer for All People.  Twenty-four hours and day, seven days a week, you will find men, women and children in prayer.

Prince of Peace Catholic School is one of the foremost schools in the State of South Carolina.  Founded by Monsignor Steven Brovey and now under the expert direction of noted Catholic educator Dr Michael Pennell, our school provides an excellent classical education in the Catholic tradition.  Come be a part of a vibrant academic community for families with children in grades K4 through 8.

The Latin Mass Community provides a rich liturgical and spiritual experience for those Catholics attached to the Extraordinary Form of the Roman Rite in Latin.  They provide liturgical worship, catechesis, and hospitality for all who seek to better live their Catholic tradition in its fullness.

Our parish has a number of other Ministries which involve our valued Church Members in service to their parish family and local community.  There are too many to list here.  But you can find more information in the Weekly Bulletin at Mass, with contact information.  Here, there is a place for everyone and work for everyone to do.  Periodic Ministry Fairs and the publication of a Ministry Guide will help you find the niche God is preparing for you here at Prince of Peace.
