Welcome to the web site of the Roman Catholic Diocese of Springfield in Illinois. As the diocesan bishop, I am grateful for your interest in our local church. I am proud of the way that the Gospel of Jesus Christ is lived and shared in our many parishes and apostolates across the 28 counties of the diocese.

I invite you to contact any of our parishes or diocesan offices to let us support you in your journey of faith. We are grateful for the gifts that you have to offer as well.

May God bless you with every grace you need to grow in faith, hope and love.

Sincerely in Christ,

Most Reverend George J. Lucas
Bishop of Springfield in Illinois
