There will be a Peoria Municipal Band concert outside the main entrance to St. Philomena Church on Friday, June 28. Bring your lawn chairs and picnic baskets. The concert will start at 7:00pm and lasts just over one hour. We recommend arriving before 6:30pm to allow time for parking and setting up your lawn chairs. The gate at the Albany entrance to the church parking lot will close no later than 6:30pm. After that time, cars must enter from the west entrance between the school and rectory.

This weekend (June 29/30) our diocese will take up the Peter’s Pence Collection. Our participation supports the charitable work of Pope Francis as he reaches out to those who are marginalized and suffering around the globe. By supporting this collection, you join the Holy Father in bringing a little more mercy into the world. Checks should be payable to St. Philomena. Envelopes are available at the entrances. Thank you for your consideration.
