In case you choose not to attend in-person, we have listed the youtube channel or facebook page of churches that we are aware of that stream their Mass.  You can typically watch live or after the fact, too.

If facebook asks you to login, you can try clicking "not now" to still watch videos. 

When attending Mass, the Diocese of Peoria wants you to keep this in mind,

* WARNING OF POTENTIAL RISK ASSUMED BY PARISHIONERS OF DIOCESE OF PEORIA PARISHES:

“While our parish staffs will attempt to take appropriate precautions consistent with the advice of public health authorities, parishioners and guests should understand that they assume the risk of contracting COVID-19 anytime they enter a public space since such precautions do not eliminate the risk of infection.”
