Growing In Faith
"Do not be afraid to be holy! Have the courage and humility to present yourselves to the world
determined to be holy, since full, true freedom is born from holiness." —St. Pope John Paul II
Ready to follow Jesus in a deeper way?
As one parish family—St. Gabriel (Port Orchard), Prince of Peace (Belfair), and St. Nicholas (Gig Harbor)—we warmly invite you to prepare your heart to receive the sacraments and to embrace the joy of parish life. The sacraments are not just rituals; they are encounters with Christ that transform us from the inside out. Whether you’re seeking Baptism, First Reconciliation, First Eucharist, Confirmation, or returning to the Church through OCIA, our communities are ready to walk with you every step of the way.
Across all three campuses, you’ll find sacramental preparation programs and ongoing faith formation opportunities for every age—Bible studies, youth ministry, small groups, retreats, and more. These programs help you grow as a disciple and live out your call to love and serve. As Scripture reminds us: “But grow in the grace and knowledge of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ” (2 Peter 3:18).
Prince of Peace offers several Spanish-language programs, including youth groups, Bible studies, and catechesis, to support our Hispanic and Latino families in their journey of faith.
Follow the links below to explore details for each campus and discover how you can take the next step. Let the sacraments and parish life draw you closer to Jesus—because He is “the way, and the truth, and the life” (John 14:6)
