The Apple Valley Catholic Giving Tree Ministry is reaching out again this year to our community asking for your continued support in providing Christmas gifts to so many people in need. The need is even greater this year due to so many people struggling during this time of Covid.
The pandemic has affected us all and we have been working hard to plan meaningful and practical programming that both maximizes our limited resources and considers the needs and challenges that all our families may be facing at this time. We are excited to put forth opportunities that are easily adaptable to both in person and online that will continue to serve all in their growth as disciples.
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.
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!
