Dear Brothers & Sisters in Christ, Have you ever taken a virtual tour of a home before deciding to move in? It gives you a sense of what to expect—a preview that helps you decide if it’s the right fit. On Friday August 15, we celebrate the Solemnity of the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary

Dear Friends in Christ, I am excited to share something new and wonderful happening in our Apple Valley Catholic community! On Saturday, October 4, 2025, from Noon to 6:00p, we are hosting our 1st Annual Food Truck & Craft Beer Fest

We are happy to share that we will once again be offering Communion under both kinds at Mass—receiving both the consecrated host and the chalice, the Body and Blood of Christ, beginning at Masses this weekend.

On February 9, 16, 23, Fr. Jeff and LIFT Director Tom Spataro will co-lead three Sunday "mini-LIFT" sessions to give folks a taste of the LIFT experience. Details coming soon!

The proceeds from this raffle will support the general operations of both Saint Isidore and Saint Elizabeth of Hungary as well as various ministries at the church, including our young family ministries, our social justice ministry, our ministry for the homebound, our partnership with Lazarus House in Lawrence, and our other hospitality ministries. At the request of our parishioners, this year we will hold the raffle drawing LIVE on January 6th as part of a Christmas/New Year's Celebration Potluck Dinner at Saint Isidore.

Preparing for reopening has been no small task. Our goal is to open with a safe environment, keep everyone healthy and also continue to offer quality participation in Mass online for those who remain unable to attend in person.  

Please Note - The target reopening is the weekend of June 13-14, NOT June 6-7, as stated in in the Constant Contact email posted May 27. As the email also indicated, the date is dependent upon a lot of factors. Thank you for your patience as we strive to complete the opening criteria and provide a safe experience when we begin to gather.

Thank you for your patience as we prepare for a safe and gradual opening!
