Make a Donation to Heart of Peoria Catholic Churches

Sunday Giving

Click below to make a donation to our mission at Sophia's Kitchen or any of our churches. You can also set-up recurring Sunday giving or our other parish needs through our secure site.

Would you consider increasing your Sunday gift by $5? Most of us give the same amount in the envelope week after week, year after year (even decade after decade!). Make even a modest increase in your regular Sunday offering. God will bless your sacrifice!

To make an adjustment to your recurring donation, please contact our bookkeeper at 309-673-6317.

Building Funds

We are blessed with the most beautiful churches in Peoria! These beautiful churches, as well as our other parish buildings need upkeep and will require us to plan now for major improvements that will inevitably be needed. (Our trustees are engaged in a significant study of St. Joseph’s 138-year old roof – more info to come soon!). Both St. Bernard and Sacred Heart/St. Joseph regularly take up a Building Fund collection. Click on the donate button on this page, select the parish, and enter “building fund” in the memo line.

Education of our Youth

We all share a common commitment to bring the Good News to the next generation. Your gifts to our monthly education collections at St. Bernard and the Cathedral help to provide CCD programs, youth ministry, tuition assistance for our Catholic school families, and our parishes’ assessments to Peoria Notre Dame High School. Click on the donate button, select the parish, and enter “education” in the memo line.

Estate Planning

Include your parish family in your will. One smart rule of thumb is to consider your parish as one of your children – if you have four kids, divide your estate in fifths. Leave one fifth to each child and an equal share to your parish. A few large estates made Sacred Heart and St. Joseph so beautiful and small estates have kept St. Bernard going! Email Julie in our diocesan stewardship office for more information: Jenzenberger@cdop.org

Sophia’s Kitchen

Including Sophia's Kitchen in your estate ensures your legacy will be remembered for years to come. Your gift allows Sophia's Kitchen to not just feed the needy each day, but to also provide for their immortal souls as we share our faith. Include Sophia's Kitchen in your monthly budget. Hunger knows no season. Your donations will make sure the hundreds who come each day will always find something to eat.
