Mary’s Helpers Food Pantry

Mary’s Helpers was established in 2008 under the supervision of Sister Sue Ann Steves. Over the years the Food Pantry has established relationships with PA State Medical Center, and other charitable organizations.

The Food Pantry, Mary’s Helpers, purchases their food supplies from the Central PA Food Bank and receives donations from Prince of Peace Parishioners, Matthew-25 Grants via the Diocese of Harrisburg and the United Way. PA State Medical Center and the Central PA Food Bank hold classes to assist the needy in the area with dietary needs, blood pressure screenings and “Flu” shots. We rely on our dedicated volunteers to give assistance to the Food Pantry and to our Chairpersons. Our volunteers are dedicated to the Food Pantry which Sr. Sue Ann Steves established and will continue to be of service to our local community.

Guardian Angel Fund

Our Guardian Angel Fund is a way for you to assist some of our children and their families with a Catholic education.

We have children from our parish that attend St. Catherine Laboure, Seven Sorrows of the BVM, St. Josephs and our high schools, Bishop McDevitt and Trinity. The donations given to this fund will not be applied to any other expense other than education.

Please enclose your donation in an envelope marked “Guardian Angel Fund” and place it in the collection basket or mail it to the Parish Office. We thank you, in advance, for your interest in the education of our Parish children.
