Calling All Catholic Women of Illinois!

Catholic women from across the entire state of Illinois will be participating in a special Leadership Training event, "Will You Come and Follow Me?"  The Peoria Diocesan Council of Catholic Women is excited to be hosting the event in our neck of the woods at the beautiful Spalding Pastoral Center.  Two trainers from the National Council of Catholic Women will lead us in discussion and activities to help us grow as leaders in our local parishes, as well as on a diocesan or state level for those who feel called.

The cost is just $30 for the day; $25 with an Early Bird registration.  A block of rooms has been reserved for our group (limited availability) to help anyone who is traveling longer distances.  Click on the link below for registration and hotel details.  (Forms need to be printed; we do not have online registration available.)

Information & Registration Form

We Appreciate You!!

It's that time of year again!  Time to gather in the center of our diocese to honor women from across the diocese!  Our Volunteer Appreciation Luncheon is NEXT month...Tuesday April 24th at the Spalding Pastoral Center.  We truly hope you can join us.

Talk with your fellow parishioners and pray about who you can honor this year for her years of service to Christ and His Church.  We know that many volunteers do not want the recognition, but we see this as a way of giving witness to the beautiful roles that women have in the Church!

Download these forms, and send them in as soon as you can.  We give certificates to each of our honorees, and we want to have plenty of time to get them complete.
