Welcome! Are you new?
From the Pastor
Janet Paccione
Thomas & Grace Paccione
I wanted to share a memory from my England trip with you. Walsingham is still in the middle of
nowhere, and was even more so in 1061 when Our Lady appeared to a pious noblewoman,
Richeldis, showing her the home at Nazareth and asking for a replica to be built. The shrine was
a major pilgrimage center until Henry VIII ordered it to be looted and destroyed to pay for his
own excesses. Pilgrims would enter Walsingham through the Slipper Chapel, where they
would take off their shoes and walk barefoot the mile up the Shrine. In 1896, Charlotte Boyd
bought the ruins of the Slipper Chapel and set about restoring it as a Catholic Shrine. In 1938,
Alfred Hope Patton, an Anglican priest, began an Anglican Shrine near the site of the old Augus-
tinian priory that served the medieval Shrine.
If you’re used to large pilgrimage centers like Lourdes or Fatima, the Shrine of Walsingham and
its little village seem miniscule and even quaint. While the Anglican and Catholic Shrines are
both beautiful, they also are a testament to the division between our two communions. The Slipper Chapel is tiny, having
one altar and seating maybe 20 people maximum. The Anglican shrine is much larger, filled with altars and devotional
spaces. Both places have various services all day long. And many pilgrims end up in the one pub in the village for a pint and some good conversation. There is really not much to do except pray and have fellowship. But, it is a place of peace and
beauty.
I brought with me your prayer intentions (and mine, too!) on a card and placed it on the altar of the Slipper Chapel as I
celebrated Mass for you. I then carried them with me as I did the walk from the village to the chapel and deposited them
with the prayers of so many other pilgrims to the shrine. I had some very serious prayer intentions of my own, and it was a
blessing to have you with me in spirit while I was there.
As I prayed in the sanctuaries, I was struck by something. Walsingham was a happening place until it was destroyed by
greed and heresy. It took a laywoman with some money and an Anglican pastor with a vision to just get on with things and
bring the place back to life. They revived something that was dead, because they knew that it could bring peace and light to
others. Charlotte Boyd and Alfred Hope Patton didn’t let fear stop them. They entrusted their initiative to the Blessed
Mother, and gave their all for the glory of God. And we’re all the better for it.
Prince of Peace is an oasis of liturgical beauty, classic spirituality and intentional engagement in the Catholic Church. If you
see it as a cafeteria to serve you what you want, you’re probably going to be disappointed. But, if you see it as a school of
the Lord’s service to learn how and why to give of yourselves more generously, you will want to be part of this amazing
place. Taylors is a lot bigger than Walsingham, and we have more people in church on a Sunday morning than the Slipper
Chapel. My hope is that among us there will be lots of people like Boyd and Hope Patton, who will make their faith active
by doing intensely beautiful things for Jesus and Mary.

“The Church needs YOU, your enthusiasm, your creativ-
ity and the joy that is so characteristic of you.”
—Pope Francis
The word Catechist means “one that catechizes.” It
is a derivative of the word Catechesis which means
to “echo.” A catechist then is one who echoes the
Word of God and passes on the Catholic tradition
and teachings. But, a catechist is much more than
just a teacher who shares factual knowledge; a cate-
chist is a “minister” of the church, one who is com-
missioned by the community to help form faith in
others and spread the Good News of Jesus Christ.
A catechist is a mentor, witness, faith sharer, and
model in the Christian way of life. We encourage
you to pray about joining our team of volunteers. You will be trained and provided curriculum re-
sources. Learn more about this opportunity for the
2017-18 school year by contacting:
Maria Barontini at 864.331.3919 or
