New Parish Website!

Part of the reason I created this blog was to post announcements about the Latin Mass offered in the Illinois Valley.
I will no longer need to do this since a brand new expanded website as been launched to support the parishes of St. Valentine Catholic Church and St. Mary Catholic Church, both located in Peru, IL.
I still may post announcements from time to time, but for full parish schedules including the ability to view the latest bulletins, go here-
