Parish History
All Saints Catholic Church was founded in 1877 to serve the spiritual needs of Lakeville and the surrounding area, growing steadily through more than a century of change in Dakota County. Its first wood-frame building was lost to an 1881 tornado; a replacement served the parish until it was destroyed by fire in 1931. A brick, 400-seat church built downtown in 1932 became the parish home for more than six decades, and in November 1997 All Saints moved to its present hilltop campus with a 1,200-seat church and integrated education center a mile to the north. Since then, All Saints Catholic School has more than doubled with the addition of a middle school and a preschool, and the parish continues to plan for further campus expansion to meet record growth in enrollment and faith-formation participation.

The parish offers a layered formation program beginning in early childhood through adulthood. Younger children experience the faith through the Montessori-based Catechesis of the Good Shepherd (PreK–K), monthly whole-group gatherings for grades 1–4 with small-group learning stations, and special virtue clubs. Children's Liturgy of the Word is offered twice a month at the 9 AM and 11 AM Sunday Masses for ages 5–9, when children are dismissed from the main sanctuary to hear the readings in St. Mary's Chapel.
