Prince of Peace Center's photostream

An affiliate of of the Erie Diocese Catholic Charities and United Way of Mercer County organizations, we continue to seek your support to aid our neighbors in need as they restore their lives.

Founded in 1983 by Sister Benita Repasky, Prince of Peace Center is a non-profit social service agency in Farrell, PA that is dedicated to strengthening families, building community, and reducing poverty throughout Mercer County. In 1993, Sister Clare Marie Beichner, SSJ, was named as the Center's second executive director, a post she held during the next twelve years.

Prince of Peace offers a variety of emergency and family supportive services that help to strengthen families through the use of an individualized, holistic approach. In addition to these services, which include HOPE Advocacy, Project RUTH, and other forms of emergency assistance, the Center hosts a twice-weekly soup kitchen and food distribution. Its thrift store provides free and low-cost clothes, house wares, and other items to those in need.
