Prince of Peace will host a parish festival this year to celebrate the start of Advent on Saturday, 2 December from 9a-5p in the Parish Activity Center. In addition to a number of wonderful artisans selling hand-made goods perfect for Christmas gifts, there will be music, food, church tours, Advent items (candles, wreaths, calendars, and meditation books) and the official unveiling of Prince of Peace’s Great Nativity in the Parish for 2023. Children will have a free scavenger hunt and craft activity around the Market, and parish ministries will be present to share more about the good work they do in the community. Come join us as we prepare to celebrate Advent and await the feast of the Prince of Peace’s birth! Proceeds from vendor fees will go toward helping those in need this Holiday Season.
