November 2025 – Prince of Peace

Sunday, November 30

First Sunday of Advent

Listen, Learn and Follow

Many peoples shall come and say: “Come, let us climb the Lord’s mountain, to the house of the God of Jacob, that he may instruct us in his ways, and we may walk in his paths.” (Isaiah 2:3)

The Old Testament prophets speak of the Lord’s Day, when the enemies of God will be brought low and the Kingdom will be established for all to follow God. We look forward to Christ’s return when he will reign, but fortunately, we don’t have to wait to learn from him and walk in his ways!

As we enter into this Advent season, we have many opportunities to listen at Jesus’ feet: through the prayers of the Mass, by reading Sacred Scripture and by engaging in the works of mercy, just to name a few.

Lord make us attentive to the signs of your Kingdom in our midst, and help us listen more closely to the words of your Son.

Knights of Columbus Breakfast

The Knights of Prince of Peace Parish-Assumption of the BVM Church will sponsor their “All You Can Eat” Breakfast on Sunday, December 7th from 9m to 12 noon. Come to the breakfast and enjoy, eggs, pancakes, bacon, sausage, hash browns, orange or cranberry juice and coffee for $11.00.

St. Nick will probably be stopping by as he travels through Steelton. He has some “gold coins” for the children but may have a few for the adults as well.

We hope to see you at the breakfast with family and friends.

CHURCH DECORATING

We are planning on setting up our outdoor Manger in front of our Parish Church on Saturday, November 29 at 10:00am.

We will be decorating the outside of our Parish on Saturday, December 6th beginning at 10:00am. We will need lots and lots of Church elves to accomplish this job, hanging lights, garland, decorating the Grotto and much, much more.

If you would like to participate please dress warmly and don’t forget this is the season for volunteering. God’s Blessings.

OUR GIVING TREE

Our Giving Tree will be available on Sunday, November 30th. This year we are purchasing gifts for Lourdes House, Interfaith Shelter and Evergreen House.

Please take an ornament off the tree, purchase the gift, wrap it and then place it under the or beside the Giving Tree in our Church. Be sure to place your ornament on the package so we can identify where it should be delivered.

Gifts will be delivered to the charities on Friday, December 19th. Thank you for your generosity to the mothers at Lourdes House and families at Interfaith Shelter and those at Evergreen House.
