About Olv

Olv: A Church That Nurtures Faith and Community

Our Lady of the Valley Catholic Church, or Olv for short, is a religious institution that has been serving the communities of Caldwell, Homedale, Marsing, Middleton, Notus, Parma and Wilder in Idaho for many years. As a church that values faith and community above all else, Olv has become a beacon of hope and inspiration for many people in the area.

At Olv, we believe that faith is not just about attending mass on Sundays or reciting prayers. It's about living your life with purpose and meaning. It's about finding joy in serving others and making a positive impact on the world around you. That's why we strive to create an environment where everyone feels welcome and supported.

Whether you're new to the area or have been living here your whole life, we invite you to join us at Olv. Our doors are always open to anyone who wants to explore their faith journey with us.

What Makes Us Different?

At Olv, we understand that every person's spiritual journey is unique. That's why we offer a variety of programs and services designed to meet each individual's needs.

For those who are just starting their journey towards faith or want to learn more about Catholicism, our RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation for Adults) program provides an excellent opportunity for growth and exploration.

We also offer youth programs such as Religious Education classes (CCD), Vacation Bible School (VBS), Youth Group meetings as well as Sacramental preparation classes like First Communion & Confirmation classes which help young people develop their spirituality while having fun with peers from similar backgrounds.

For adults looking for ways to deepen their relationship with God outside of mass times there are opportunities like Bible Study groups which provide an opportunity for fellowship while studying scripture together; Adoration hours where one can spend time in quiet reflection before Jesus in the Blessed Sacrament; and various retreats throughout the year.

In addition to our spiritual programs, Olv is also committed to serving the community. We believe that faith and service go hand in hand, and we strive to make a positive impact on those around us.

Our outreach programs include food drives, clothing donations, and other charitable initiatives that help support those in need. We also have a strong commitment to social justice issues such as immigration reform, human trafficking awareness & prevention efforts as well as environmental stewardship.
