Annual Diocesan Appeal Parish Resources

The Diocese has prepared a variety of resources to assist parishes in promoting the Annual Appeal.

Consistent messaging across diocesan and parish communications helps the faithful better understand how their gifts strengthen our local Church and support ministries that reach far beyond any single parish. Please use and share the resources linked on this page.

Social Media:

Follow and share the Diocese of Peoria's Annual Diocesan Appeal social media posts throughout the campaign. We encourage you to post personal stories from your parish related to this year’s theme, “You Will Be My Witnesses,” and tag us @PeoriaDiocese and bshplou/!

Stay connected and see how your support is making a difference:

You Will Be My Witnesses...to the ends of the earth (Acts 1:8).

Toolkit:

Please find the following toolkit items for our 2026 Annual Appeal below.

A series of bulletin announcements is included to guide parish communications throughout the Appeal timeline. These announcements highlight the mission of the Appeal, share stories of impact, and invite parishioners to prayerfully participate.

Graphics, Photos & Additional Resources
Find downloadable graphics, photos, videos, bulletin resources, and other promotional materials. These resources are available to help your parish share the Appeal through websites, newsletters, social media, and other communication channels.

Parish Connections
Stay connected throughout the Appeal through Parish Connections, the Diocese's regular communication resource for parish leaders and staff. Parish Connections will provide important updates, reminders, campaign highlights, and additional resources to help parishes effectively promote the Appeal and stay informed throughout the campaign.
