This Catholic community parish is located is Apache Junction, Arizona. This Catholic parish began as a mission out of Queen of Peace Church, Mesa, which came to be known as "The Little Catholic Church in the Desert." The site of this mission was in a cabin on land owned by Mr. and Mrs. Pat Bailey, on Vineyard Rd. not far from US Highway 60 in Apache Junction. The cabin was about 16' x 16', had an altar and some chairs - enough to seat about 24 people. An Irish priest from Queen of Peace Church came out to say Mass each Sunday. Sometime in the 50's, the public school was opened and Mass was said in the school.
In 2001 the church was reconstituted with a rebuilt church and social hall and the development of a community of Catholics who were both full time and summer residents of the community.
