Growing Disciples

What is Growing Disciples?

Growing Disciples is a pastoral planning process for the Catholic Diocese of Peoria to renew discipleship and enhance relationships with Jesus Christ in every corner of our region. The pastoral planning process will examine the current structure of parishes and schools in the diocese to evaluate how they can best meet the needs of the faithful and address challenges facing the Church today.

Specifically, Growing Disciples has three primary goals:

• Enabling the faithful to go make disciples within a mission-driven, sustainable structure of parishes and schools.
• Enhancing the vibrancy of our parishes, schools, and ministries.
• Increasing our support of the happiness, health, and holiness of our priests.

On may 18th, the letter below from Bishop Lou Tylka was read at mass. More information about the process and how it may impact mass times and other details will be coming as they are known.
