Supporting Our Foundations
The Catholic Diocese of Peoria is proudly built upon five foundational pillars, each dedicated to sustaining and advancing our mission:
Empower evangelization so as to share the saving name of Jesus.
Inspire discipleship in each baptized follower of Jesus.
Strengthen vocations to the priesthood and religious life.
Deepen our awareness of the presence of Jesus in the Eucharist.
Continue the legacy of Archbishop Fulton Sheen.
In the coming years, the profits generated from this annual gala will directly fund these essential foundations, ensuring their continued impact and reach.
This Year’s Focus: Our 150th Celebration!
For this momentous first gala, all profits will be dedicated to the 150th Celebration of the existence of the Catholic Diocese of Peoria! We have a wonderful array of 150th celebration events planned to commemorate this historic anniversary, including special Masses, community gatherings, historical exhibits, and more. Your participation in the gala will directly contribute to making these celebrations truly memorable.
