The Catholic Church holds that Communion is in the Body and Blood of Christ, the Eucharist, as well as in the faith and moral teachings of the Church, because the Church is also the Body of Christ according to the Bible. Eucharistic Communion is the full and final sign and instrument of membership in the Catholic Church. We respectfully ask non-Catholics please not to take Eucharistic Communion.

Out of consideration for those who pray and worship here, please keep a reverent silence inside the monastery church both before and after Mass and all times of prayer.

Being a monastery, Prince of Peace Abbey does not offer the opportunities of parish life, including catechism or faith instruction, Baptism, First Communion, Confirmation, Marriage, Anointing of the Sick, and Funeral Rites. For these indispensable benefits, you must inquire at a Catholic parish.
