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 Sisters and Brothers in Christ, This weekend, the Church invites us into one of the most beautiful moments of the Advent season—Gaudete Sunday, the Sunday of JOY. We light the rose candle, a color that surprises us right in the midst of Advent’s deeper purple tones. And maybe this year it surprises us even more, because we may not feel very joyful in the busyness of Advent.Read More

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, As we enter the Second Week of Advent, and as I prepare to celebrate the Children’s Mass this weekend, my heart turns toward the unfolding story of how God chose to enter our world, quietly, humbly, and through people who said yes to Him. Advent invites us not only to prepare for Christmas, but to remember the astonishing way God chose to come close to us.Read More

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, We enter this sacred season of Advent at a time when life feels full, sometimes overwhelmingly so. Many of us are carrying quiet pressures: family responsibilities, financial concerns, work deadlines, holiday preparations, expectations from others, and the weight of trying to “make everything perfect” for Christmas. And in the midst of all that, it is easy for our hearts to slip into spiritual tiredness, distraction, or even numbness.Read More

Dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ, This weekend, we celebrate the final Sunday of the liturgical year—the Solemnity of Our Lord Jesus Christ, King of the Universe. It is a feast that stands as both a conclusion and a beginning. It closes one Church year and prepares our hearts for Advent, when we once again await the coming of our Savior. But the Gospel chosen for this feast may surprise us. Instead of seeing Jesus enthroned in glory or surrounded by angels, we see Him crucified—nailed to a cross between two criminals.Read More

Dear Sisters and Brothers in Christ, This Sunday’s Gospel can sound unsettling. Jesus speaks of wars and earthquakes, of persecution and betrayal, of great trials that will come before the end. It’s not the kind of message we like to hear, especially as we approach the end of the liturgical year when our hearts are already turning toward Thanksgiving and Advent. Yet, as always, Jesus’ words are not meant to frighten us, but to awaken and strengthen us.Read More
