This year, Peru Catholic School is
celebrating 125 years of providing excellence in Catholic
Education. It was during the pastorate of Father Cossman that the five
counties of LaSalle, Bureau, Henry, Putnam, and Rock Island were added
to the Peoria Diocese, which began its existence in 1877. The first
St. Joseph School was built in 1886 and housed the Franciscan Sisters
of the Sacred Heart.
