Holy Family Parish campaign

OGDEN — Father Patrick Elliott, pastor of Holy Family Parish, Ogden, announced to his parishioners that they have exceeded the $1,945,000 mark in their "Building with Living Stones" capital campaign.  The campaign is designed to raise funds for a new church for the growing parish.

Their goal is to raise a minimum of $2.25 million over a three-year period of time, which will allow them, in combination with current fund reserves, to break ground on the new facilities. 

More than 75 volunteers worked on the first phases of the fund raising effort, and more than 265 out of 350 parish families have pledged to contribute to the campaign’s success.

The parish is being assisted in this effort by Chuck Waletzko of Walsh & Associates, a Burnsville, Minnesota-based fund raising consulting firm.

As Holy Family Parish’s Capital Campaign kicked off in the spring, a meter shows the success of the first phase of the campaign. The parish continues to move closer to its goal – a new church – as parishioners pledge funds. IC file photo
