Welcome to the Apple Valley Catholic Community! -

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 Sunday’s Gospel (John 2:13-22), Jesus offers a bold and puzzling statement: “Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up.” Those who heard Him were confused. They thought only of the massive stone structure in Jerusalem—a building that took decades to construct. But Jesus was speaking of something far greater: the temple of His Body.Read More

Dear Parish Family, Each year on November 2nd, the Church pauses to celebrate the Commemoration of All the Faithful Departed, more commonly known as All Souls Day. It follows immediately after All Saints Day—and together, these two feasts remind us of a beautiful truth at the heart of our faith: that we are all united in the Communion of Saints—the Church on earth, the souls being purified in Purgatory, and the saints in Heaven.Read More

Dear Brothers & Sisters, One of the greatest challenges in the spiritual life is finding the courage to come before God just as we are. So often, we think we must have everything together before approaching Him — that we need to fix our mistakes, hide our flaws, or somehow “earn” His love. But today’s Gospel reminds us that God’s mercy is not for those who appear perfect, but for those who are humble enough to come before Him with open hearts.Read More

Dear Friends, In this Sunday’s Gospel, Jesus tells a parable about a widow who keeps coming to a judge, pleading for justice. She doesn’t give up, even when she’s ignored. And in the end, because of her persistence, the judge finally responds. Jesus shares this story “To show the necessity for us to pray always without becoming weary.” It’s an important reminder for us all: God does not always answer our prayers immediately. He allows us to experience moments of silence, delay, and even suffering — not because He is absent, but because He is doing something deeper within us.Read More

Dear Friends in Christ, Today’s Gospel begins on the dusty road between Galilee and Samaria, where Jesus encounters ten lepers. They are desperate, isolated, and cut off from their families and communities. They cry out to Him with one simple plea: “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!” These ten men begin where all true faith begins — with need. They know they cannot heal themselves; they know they need help.Read More
