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

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 H.O.P.E Advocacy, Project R.U.T.H., 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.
Former Development and Volunteer Director Joe Flecher was selected to follow
Sr. Clare Marie to become the third director at the agency, effective June
1, 2005. He leads a staff of
employees, community service workers, and volunteers aged 8 to 88. The
Center is overseen by a Board of
Directors comprised of men and women from businesses, churches, and
