Development & Stewardship
All of our work is based on the principles of Christian stewardship.
We believe that God gives us everything we have and everything we are, and calls us to use these gifts of time, talent & treasure for the building of the Kingdom.
The Office of Development and Stewardship exists to provide material support to the vital ministries and service of the Diocese of Peoria, especially through the Annual Diocesan Appeal. We also assist parishes and schools in the areas of development and stewardship.
Do Everything for the Glory of God
The Annual Diocesan Appeal (ADA) is the major source of revenue for the ministries and agencies of the Diocese of Peoria. It is these ministries that enable the Church of Peoria, under the direction of the Bishop, to reach across parish boundaries in the areas of Worship/Prayer, Christian Education, Christian Service, and Church Administration, among others.
