St. Gerard Church is a Roman Catholic church in The Valley, the capital of Anguilla in the Caribbean. It follows the Latin rite and is part of the Diocese of Saint John's–Basseterre, which was created in 1971 by Pope Paul VI and is based in St. John's, Antigua and Barbuda. The Catholic community in The Valley began in 1948 with a small chapel, which was destroyed by a hurricane in 1961. After that, Catholics met at Wallblake House until the current church was completed in 1966.
