Priesthood & Religious Life

Priesthood and Religious Life is one particular and wonderful way a person can embrace God’s call to them. It generally involves a period of prayer, study and discernment before promises or vows are made and/or ordination takes place for priesthood.

If you are interested in becoming a priest or religious and would like to find out more, talk with a priest or contact our Office of Vocations of the Diocese of Peoria.

Anointing of the Sick

Anyone who is facing serious illness, surgery or frailty due to advanced age is welcome to receive the Sacrament of the Sick; contact the parish office anytime, day or night. Those whose conditions worsen at any time are also welcome to receive the Anointing again. We also offer the Sacrament of the Sick during Mass periodically throughout the year; these times will be announced in the bulletin.
