Family Sacraments/Poojas Services

A Value Based approach to Family Sacraments Pricing in 2018

We have taken a simplified, value based approach to pricing Temple's Priest Services for family sacraments. Please see below the same price approach ( irrespective whether Temple or home or which day of the week). This should greatly help the scheduling for you and the Priests.   

You can register on line for any of the planned sacraments:

For planning purposes: As we look ahead at 2018 , we are posting Temple's program Calendar in a month by month easy to use format:

In addition we call on you to use mypanchang.com for 2018 (listed for Peoria Illinois month by month).

This will help a lot in your consultation with Priests in selecting appropriate family sacrament days and times.
