History

All Saints Greek Orthodox Church of Peoria, Illinois was founded by Greek immigrants who settled in the greater Peoria area in the early decades of the twentieth century, determined to keep their Orthodox faith and traditions alive while building a strong community in their new home. The parish has served the faithful of the region for nearly a century, making it one of the oldest continuously operating Orthodox Christian communities in central Illinois.

From its immigrant origins the parish has grown into a warm and welcoming community that draws together Orthodox Christians of many backgrounds alongside the descendants of the Greek families who founded it. Services are conducted in a manner that honors the ancient liturgical traditions of the Orthodox Church, with Matins and Divine Liturgy celebrated each Sunday, followed by fellowship and the warmth of a community whose walls are covered in beautifully painted icons of the Saints to whom the parish is dedicated.

The dedication to All Saints, celebrated on the Sunday following Pentecost as the great feast of all those who have been glorified in Christ, gives the parish a patronal identity that encompasses the entire communion of the Church, a fitting dedication for a community that has sought to welcome and serve all who seek the ancient Christian faith in the heart of Illinois.

All Saints Greek Orthodox Church at 1812 North Prospect Road in Peoria serves the Orthodox Christian faithful of central Illinois as a parish of the Greek Orthodox Metropolis of Chicago within the Greek Orthodox Archdiocese of America.
