Diocese of Peoria Consecration

As part of the ongoing celebration of the 150th anniversary of the Diocese of Peoria, and after much prayer and reflection, we are consecrating our diocese to the Sacred Heart of Jesus.

It is a simple but powerful act of trust, placing our people, our parishes, and our mission more intentionally into the Lord’s care. Providentially, this will take place alongside the bishops of the United States, who will also be consecrating our country to the Sacred Heart.

Our hope is that this will not be simply a single event, but something that shapes the life of our diocese moving forward by deepening prayer, renewing trust in the Lord, and strengthening our shared mission.

Join the Celebration

On June 12, 2026 – the Solemnity of the Sacred Heart of Jesus – there will be Mass at The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception at 5pm This Mass will also be livestreamed.

First Friday Regional Masses

Following the consecration, regional Masses will be offered on First Fridays throughout the diocese, concluding with a final Mass at the Cathedral on March 5, 2027. The Office of Divine Worship will coordinate details with the Vicars Forane.
