St. Jude Catholic Church, Peoria, IL - Peoria (IL)

5 /5 Anne S: My husband was raised in this parish, and we always look forward to visiting it from out of town! I was very pleasantly surprised that confession was being offered prior to the 9 am Sunday Mass! Today they were also having coffee and doughnuts after Mass, and advertising an Advent Potluck happening in the near future. The homily was great, the music pieces were pleasing, and the sense of reverence and prayer was wonderful They are raising money now to build an excellent new church which will surely give Glory to Our Lord! Five stars for St. Jude! - Meredith Shane

5 /5 Matthew McLaughlin: Beautiful church and reverent Mass, especially considering how new the church is. Absolutely packed on a random Sunday as well. Churches like St. Jude are the future of the Church.

5 /5 Ashley Berndt: Went to a wedding, the priest did a fantastic job. The church was beautiful. The wedding itself was beautifully done.

5 /5 Sonyia Brake: My daughter, Maria, and son-in-law, Mike, moved into the parish in August, 2015, from Normal, IL. While they moved from a great parish, I was pleasantly surprised to find that St. Jude was equally great. When we go to visit their family, at St. Judes we find great priests, deacons and music at the Masses we attend. Eucharistic Adoration is available on certain days. The school even has Dominican Sisters!! How special is that! They attend the Mass that we usually attend and it is so good that they are there. It has been a long time since we have seen that. As far as noise is concerned, obviously parents should tend to screaming children at Mass. That is what we did with our seven children. Lots of children is a sign of a growing and healthy future and that parents are trying to teach them their Catholic Faith. I never had that as a child as I was Southern Baptist, so I am impressed. We live on the East Coast, and I am in "holy envy" of your great Diocese. You have lots of Seminarians, who we pray for daily, as well as for the Seminarians in our own Diocese. We are always so happy to visit St. Jude. The Morning Mass Moms are to be congratulated for instilling in their children a love for the Lord and His Church at a very young age. Keep up the good work, St. Jude Catholic Church. You all have a good Patron Saint!

5 /5 Mary Therese Wille: St. Jude Parish has very welcoming and faith-filled priests, staff and parishioners! We love the opportunity to get to the daily 8:30 mass, and to the Holy Hours. Thank you to everyone who has the love of Jesus Christ in their hearts at St. Jude Church!
