We are an urban parish in the heart of downtown Peoria across from the Peoria Civic Center. We have an outreach food program that serves meals to the homeless and needy with the help of many parish volunteers.

We provide sacramental, pastoral and spiritual guidance services to our parish community.

The Franciscan Friars also administer Saint Joseph Parish in Peoria and are chaplains to the Franciscan Sisters of the Immaculate Conception on Heading Avenue in West Peoria.
