Louis Tylka (born May 26, 1970) is an American Catholic prelate who serves as coadjutor bishop of the Diocese of Peoria, Illinois.

Early life and education

Tylka was born on May 26, 1970, in Harvey, Illinois to Louis and Norma Tylka.[1] He has five older sisters. The family moved to Hazel Crest, Illinois. Tylka was educated at St. Joseph Grammar School in Homewood and Marian Catholic High School in Chicago Heights. After a year at Purdue University he transferred to Niles College Seminary of Loyola University and then studied for the priesthood at University of Saint Mary of the Lake.

Priesthood

On May 18, 1996, Tylka was ordained a priest for the Archdiocese of Chicago by Cardinal Joseph Bernardin. As a priest, Tylka served as associate pastor at St. Michael Parish, Orland Park from 1996 to 2003 and at Saints Faith, Hope, and Charity in Winnetka from 2003 to 2004. He served as pastor of Mater Christi and the Shrine of Mary, Mother of Mothers in North Riverside from 2004 to 2014 and at St. Julie Billiart in Tinley Park from 2014. Tylka has served on the Presbyteral Council for the archdiocese, and has been its chairman since 2015.[1][2]

Diocese of Peoria

Pope Francis appointed Tylka coadjutor bishop for the Diocese of Peoria on May 11, 2020.[2][3] The Mass of Installation took place at The Cathedral of Saint Mary of the Immaculate Conception on July 23, 2020.[4] Bishop Daniel R. Jenky was to have been one of his co-consecrators but he was unknowingly exposed to the coronavirus and placed himself under self-quarantine. Archbishop Jerome E. Listecki of the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of Milwaukee replaced Bishop Jenky as one of the co-consecrators.[5]
