Five Foundations

After over a year of listening sessions and conversations with clergy and lay leaders, Bishop Louis Tylka discerned five foundations on which to build the future of the Diocese of Peoria. Focusing on these themes, already present in our diocese, would set us on a path to be a Church that goes forth. A Church that is vibrant, mission-driven and sustainable.

The five foundations are:

  • Evangelization
  • Discipleship
  • Centering our Lives on the Eucharist
  • Vocations
  • Legacy of Archbishop Fulton J. Sheen

Our pastor, Fr. Charles, recorded a video explaining each of the Five Foundations. You can watch it here. Information and a 5-part video series about the Five Foundations can also be found on the Catholic Diocese of Peoria website.
