Sister Benita Repasky, late in her religious life, felt she had a calling to minister to the poor in the Shenango Valley.
More than 35 years later, the Prince of Peace Center that she founded has grown tremendously. It has become a vital community resource, working to break the cycle of poverty by offering job training, money management, parenting, life skills training, as well as food, shelter and clothing to support adults and youth.
Sister Benita’s legacy was honored and strengthened in 2018 when the Board of Directors at Prince of Peace Center created an endowment in her name. “This fund plants the seeds of faith, hope and love that will bear fruit in the form of financial stability for the Prince of Peace Center for generations to come,” explained Joseph Flecher, Executive Director.
