Growing Disciples Update
We are now in the final stages of the Growing Disciples pastoral planning process.
The Growing Disciples Core Team has met with the Pastoral Commission (comprised of parishioners from each vicariate) and the Presbyteral Council (comprised of priests from each vicariate) to review the Round Three models it created based on the feedback from the Round Two models. All the feedback from both meetings has been submitted to the Bishop to consider as part of his discernment.
The Bishop wanted to make public the recommendations (Round 3 models) he will be discerning.
For our local area, there are changes from the Round 2 models.
Round Three proposal for our parish includes:
- Immaculate Heart of Mary – Galesburg (Primary Site)
- Corpus Christi – Galesburg (Secondary Site)
- St Augustine – St Augustine (Secondary Site)
- St Patrick – Galesburg (Not in use)
- St Aloysius – Wataga (Not in use)
- Sacred Heart – Abingdon (Not in use)
- Merger of parishes
- 3 Priests assigned
- Priest assignments are based on the current available priests. Final decisions will be made by the Bishop.
Round 3 models can be found at: https://www.growingdisciplescdop.org/round-3
Being aware of these models will help all of us begin to work within our parish community and nearby parishes to prepare hearts and minds for change. Regardless of what may happen to our parish, everyone will experience a change, whether it is a new structure for our parish, or the parish we grew up in, a new priest, or a renewed commitment and focus to evangelization and growing disciples. No matter what happens over these next few years, the real power we have is in growing in our relationship with Jesus and his Church. We have and will continue to do this together.

Galesburg Catholic Faith Formation
All families with children in grades 1-8 who are not registered at Costa (our Catholic school) participate in our Faith Formation (CCD) program. This is especially important for those who are looking to receive First Communion or Confirmation. Both are two year programs that typically begin in first grade and seventh grade (but can be completed afterward as well). Classes for grades 1-8 will meet weekly on Wednesdays from 5:45 pm -7 pm at McAteer Center on the campus of Corpus Christi (273 S. Prairie Street).
