At the Apple Valley Catholic Community, we live out the commandment Jesus gave to his disciples when he said "Love one another.. As I have loved you, so you also should love one another." (John 13:34). We live this commandment by acknowledging we are all, in one way or another our sister's and brother's keeper.
We affirm the dignity and worth of each person regardless of your race, nationality or ethnic group, gender, sexual orientation, immigration status, age, socioeconomic class, married, single, divorced, Mass attendance, or anything else. We affirm that we are all God's children and part of the one family of God and that means We Welcome YOU. -

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, In this Easter season, we hear a powerful and somewhat surprising detail in the Gospel from John 20:19–23. When the Risen Jesus appears to His disciples in the upper room for the first time, He does not come without the marks of His suffering. Instead, He shows them His hands, His side, and His wounds. This moment is deeply important. Jesus has conquered sin and death. He is glorified. And yet, the wounds remain. Why? Because His wounds are no longer signs of defeat, they have become signs of love. They are the visible proof of what He was willing to endure for us. More than that, they reveal something essential about the peace that Jesus offers.Read More

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, Alleluia! He is risen! On this most joyful day, we gather as a Church to celebrate the heart of our faith, the Resurrection of Jesus Christ. The Gospel of Matthew tells us that early on the first day of the week, Mary Magdalene and the other Mary went to the tomb. What they expected to find was death and silence. Instead, they encountered something completely unexpected: the stone was rolled away, the tomb was empty, and an angel proclaimed the words that continue to echo throughout history: “He is not here, for he has been raised just as he said.”Read More

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, As we enter into the most sacred week of our Church year Holy Week, we are invited not just to remember what happened to Jesus, but to walk with Him. From Palm Sunday to Easter Sunday, we journey step by step through the greatest true story ever told: a story of love, sacrifice, and new life. This is a week for every one of us, children, families, and individuals alike to experience something deeply meaningful.Read More

Dear Parishioners, As we draw closer to Holy Week, the Church places before us one of the most powerful moments in all of the Gospels: the raising of Lazarus. At the heart of this story is a deeply personal and moving conversation between Jesus and Martha, the sister of Lazarus. Martha approaches Jesus carrying the weight of grief that so many of us know. She says to Him, “Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.” In those words, we hear both sorrow and faith. Martha is grieving the loss of someone she loves, yet even in the midst of her grief she still turns toward Jesus. She continues, “But even now I know that whatever you ask of God, God will give you.”Read More

Dear Parishioners, The Gospel this weekend, John 9:1–41, tells the powerful story of Jesus healing a man who had been blind from birth. At first glance, it appears to be simply a miracle story about physical healing. But as we listen more closely, we discover that the deeper message of this Gospel is not about eyesight, it is about spiritual sight.Read More
