Historic Gettysburg Pennsylvania
Made famous by the Civil War battle in the summer of 1863, Gettysburg is home to just over 7,700 residents and welcomes more than a million visitors each year to the Gettysburg National Military Park. In addition to historical sites, you will find a thriving downtown with museums, shops, restaurants, and the campus of Gettysburg College.
A Place to Worship and to Gather
The construction of Prince of Peace Church began on July 2, 1888, the 25th anniversary of the Battle, with the laying of a cornerstone, which is still visible at the corner of High and Baltimore Streets. The building was completed in 1900 and has been renovated and added on to several times since then (see our history). Today's church building reflects a major renovation project completed in 2022.
