Send FATHER SZYDLIK (and/or any Diocese of Peoria Priest) a Thank-You to be shared at the Priest Convocation June 14-18.

Proclaiming Christ: Yesterday, Today, and Forever

This year marks something special - the very first Priest Convocation for our diocese.

Convocation is a sacred time of fraternity for our priests to step away from the demands of parish life and be renewed - spiritually, emotionally, and physically. You can help make this time of renewal possible.

Ways to Support Our Priests

Pray - Keep your priests in your prayers, that Convocation may be a time of grace, renewal, and encouragement for each of them.
Encourage - Let your priest know you want them to participate. A simple word of encouragement reminds him that it's okay to step away for a few days to be renewed.

Affirm - Use the QR code to send a note of gratitude or encouragement to your priest. Your words can uplift and strengthen him more than you know.

Give - Help support Convocation by making a gift or becoming a sponsor. Your generosity will help to create a peaceful, restorative experience for your priest. Use the QR code to make your gift or send it by mail to Diocese of Peoria, 419 NE Madison Ave, Peoria Illinois 61603 with "Convocation" on the note line.

Thank you for your generous support! Together, we can help our priests return to their parishes renewed - happy, holy, and healthy.
