The Diocese of Peoria is made up of 177 parishes and missions, and more than 68,000 Catholic families. There are many ministries and apostolates that the Diocese can offer that we as a single parish cannot. Catechetical training for school and CCD teachers, recruitment and training of priests, medical care for retired priests, ministry to our students on college campuses, evangelization, administration of many of the details of parish finances… these are just a few of the many services we receive from the Diocese of Peoria. Soon we will be asking your help to support these good and necessary works through the Annual Diocesan Appeal. Please keep them in mind as the time approaches. Pledge Sunday is April 24-25.
