Who we are
St. Mary's was founded in 1846 and is the oldest parish in the city of Peoria. The Diocese of Peoria was founded in 1875 and the first Bishop, Bishop Spalding, arrived in 1877. The diocese is composed of 26 counties, being the largest diocese in land mass in the state. Old St. Mary's was built in 1851 and razed in 1898. The painting above the tabernacle and the bell in the south tower are all that remains of old St. Mary's. The Catheral is neo gothic in design and has spires that reach to 230'. The stone of the Cathedral is called Anamosa white stone.

I ask for...
I ask you neither for health nor for sickness, for life nor for death; but that you may dispose of my health and my sickness, my life and my death, for your glory... You alone know what is expedient for me; you are the sovereign master, do with me according to your will. Give to me, or take away from me, only conform my will to yours. I know but one thing, Lord, that it is good to follow you, and bad to offend you. Apart from that, I know not what is good or bad in anything. I know not which is most profitable to me, health or sickness, wealth or poverty, nor anything else in the world. That discernment is beyond the power of men or angels, and is hidden among the secrets of your providence, which I adore, but do not seek to fathom.
