Peach Tree has TOO MUCH fruit - branches breaking- Will they all make it?

Our on peach tree ( a Persian variety- white) this year has produced an unbelievable number of fruits- without exaggeration, this small to medium size tree (less than five years old) has hundreds of fruit - some very close to each other. Two branches have already broken from the weight of the fruit and I have used poles to shore up others. Even If I manage to prevent other branches from breaking (the fruits are still very small - will probably double or triple in size and weight as they ripen), can a tree support this many fruit, and can they all mature? Do I need to do anything special?
