Growing in Faith Together (GIFT) Study
St. Valentine and St. Mary Parishes are (Cluster)ed with St. Joseph Parish (and St. Bede Abbey) in the Peru area planning process. Recently the Peoria Diocesan Planning Commission has declined to accept the Cluster's Suggestion to maintain three parishes in Peru. Instead, the Commission is recommending that St. Valentine and St. Mary Parishes be merged into a new parish located at the current site of St. Valentine Church. The process allows opportunity for input and rebuttal to the Recommendation. Please find here two domuments that explain the process and the Commission's recommendation.
Preliminary Recommendation: Region 3, Cluster 8
Accompanying: Letter from Msgr. Showalter
Core Team members for St. Val's are: Fr. Gardner, Dave Urbanowski, Mary Whipple, Brian Ernat, Wayne Sherman. Core Team members for St. Mary's are: Fr. Gardner, Kim Keutzer, Jo Marie Duncan, Greg Oseland, Mike Vezetti.
