It is at times like these our faith reminds us that we are never truly alone, even as we face unprecedented challenges as a parish community. Though we are not able to join together in the celebration of the Eucharist, I continue daily to pray for the health of you and your loved ones. I am reaching out to you about an archdiocesan effort created by a member of the laity with concern for our parishes during this time of crisis. For those who are able, we hope that you continue to support the operations of our faith community during this emergency by enrolling in the 90-Days Now campaign.
What if everyone on Sunday April 5 in the morning, puts a branch on the door of their house or on the window, to celebrate Palm Sunday. It could be any green branch you can get. This would help, despite the social distancing, to be connected as we enter into the Holiest of Weeks. Want to join? We may be physically isolated, but not separated. We are united as the members of the body of Christ. We are the Church.
On Sunday at 9:30 a.m., one of our Children's Liturgy of the Word (CLOW) volunteers will be leading a Facebook Live lesson and reflection on this weekend's readings, from their own home. The Live event will take place on the Apple Valley Catholic Collaborative's Facebook Page. Please gather your young children and join us!
Ways to Stay Connected - We miss you all! During this time when we will neither be gathering as a community to celebrate Mass nor meeting for all our pastoral activities, we are looking at ways to keep our Apple Valley Catholic Community connected. Click blue title for full details.
All meetings and activities are canceled, suspended or postponed until further notice. Collaborative offices are closed. Weekday and Weekend Masses are suspended until further notice. See summary details by clicking blue title.
