150 Trees

As we celebrate our 150th anniversary of the Diocese of Peoria, we invite you to live our call to help care for God’s creation, one of our Catholic Social Teaching principles.

We’d love for our parishes, schools, religious orders, families, individuals, and other Catholic ministries to plant a tree in honor of our anniversary. Our prayer is that we will, as a Diocese, plant 150 trees across our 26 counties!

We have put together two options to participate:

OPTION A

Order a tree through the Diocese of Peoria.

Trees cost $200. Option A includes the tree, a prayer for the blessing of your tree, a commemorative plaque, and instructions on how to plant and care for the tree.

Wilson Services will deliver your tree. The Diocese will communicate with you when your tree will be delivered to your respective vicariate.

Click here to choose option A and order your tree.

OPTION B

Order a commemorative plaque.

Plaques cost $50. This option allows you to purchase a tree on your own for planting. We provide a prayer for the blessing of your tree, a commemorative plaque, and instructions on how to plant and care for the tree.

Click here to order the plaque.

Your Tree Planting

We’d love for you to email us a photo of your tree planting so we can share it on social media and our other communication channels. You can email the photo to communications@cdop.org.

Thank you for celebrating our anniversary and God’s beautiful world He blessed us with in the Diocese of Peoria!
