Special Collection
for the Earthquake Victims in Nepal
They have many needs. Catholic Relief is one of the first
organizations that respond to the needs of people who experience such disasters. Bishop Hanefeldt asks that the parishes in
the Diocese of Grand Island take up a special collection for
CRS’s work in this area. Prince of Peace will take up this
special collection the weekend of May 16th and 17th. You
may give anytime by placing your donation (a check written to
Prince of Peace) in an envelope marked "Nepal" . Prince of
Peace will then send a check to CRS. You may also go on line
to give directly at:

“Planning for Your Future:
Spiritual, Financial, Medical”
A panel of professionals will discuss planning for one’s future.
The panel will include an attorney, a financial advisor, a funeral
home director, an insurance agent and Father Paul Colling,
pastor of Prince of Peace.
The panel will discuss ways of saving for retirement, how inflation and taxes can affect one’s retirement plan, and the
importance of having a will and an estate plan. Other topics will
include life insurance and long-term care insurance, paying for
final expenses and transferring wealth to future generations.
Father Paul will address the importance of preparing spiritually
for the future. He will discuss the church’s position on end-oflife issues, living wills, traditional burial vs. cremation, and
programs available through the church to continue growing in
one’s faith.
The program will be held in the downstairs social hall, which is
accessible through the east entrance of the building. For more
information, contact the church at
deann@kearneyprinceofpeace.org or 308-236-9171.

High School
Sunday-Thursday, June 14-18
7:30-9:30pm
Graduations: Many, many people have or will be
graduating from Universities, Colleges, Trade Schools,
and High Schools. It is a very special time in these
people’s lives. It is a time of celebration of a great
achievement and a time of saying good-bye to a period of
life. We wish God’s choicest blessings on all the
graduates, especially members of Prince of Peace parish!
May is the month dedicated to Mary. Mary is the
mother of Jesus and we remember her with honor and
love. Many other denominations believe that we worship
Mary or the Blessed Virgin Mary, but that is incorrect.
We honor her and respect her with great esteem for
saying “yes” to God when He asked her to give birth to
His son, Jesus. May 6th we will honor Holy Mary with a
5:30 pm mass and a May Crowning. The Prince of Peace
Knights of Columbus Council will host the meal afterward. Thank you Knights.

A special welcome to the St. James parish family as
they are in transition while their church is being remodeled. We welcome you with open arms and hope you feel
at home as you use the sacred space of Prince of Peace.
Parish Potluck Supper
Wednesday, June 17
6:00pm
Bring your favorite dish to share!
Although many people know joy and happiness in the
springtime each year, there are many people who are
stressed by the economy, family problems or life in
general. As you know, I am a big promoter of taking time
for personal prayer and quiet time with the Lord. During
this time I invite you to make a list of all that you can be
grateful for. An attitude of gratitude gets us out of
thinking about what we don’t have and allows us to
realize that we have so much to more to be thankful for.

Little P.O.P.ers!
Little P.O.P.ers provides child supervision
for children ages 6 months through 6 years
so parents can attend the 10:30am Mass.
We will be starting back up on Sunday,
May 3rd. Little P.O.P.ers is located in the
downstairs classrooms. Additional volunteers are still
needed for this to be a successful ministry. If you are
interested in serving please call Krista Gutchewsky at
308-293-3641.
So from a book I read called One Day at A Time, I invite you to reflect on the following:
“I take a period of meditation every day for my
spiritual development. I focus these “thinking times” on
what is good in my life. I have found that doing this helps
me let go of self-pity and resentment over what I lack and
what is hurting me. And then I realize that God will help
me manage my life in order and serenity.” Then I realize
I have a lot to be grateful for.
May you have a blessed May!!!
