Join us for Convention!





The Peoria DCCW Board is so excited to hold our Biennial Convention in person this year!  We met via Zoom in 2020 (didn't everybody?) but there's nothing like gathering face-to-face!

Our good friends and sisters in faith of the St. Louis (Princeton) Council of Catholic Women will host this year's event.  Our theme is "Receive and Be Filled with Joy." We are especially happy to have Father Luke Spannagel as our Keynote Speaker.

New officers will be voted in and installed to serve for the 2022-2024 term.  We will also have lots of fun information about council projects on the diocesan and national levels, as well as how you can boost your local parish women's organization.
