Holy Family Catholic Church - Ogden, Utah - Roman Catholic Churches on Waymarking.com

The entry page offers a view of the campus of Holy Family Parish in South Ogden as seen just a year after the dedication of the Church Building, October 21. 2008, by Bishop John C.Wester. This was also declared the Year of Saint Paul by Pope Benedict XVI.

This continues the vision of founding Bishop, Joseph Lennox Federal and founding pastor, Msgr. George Davich, who began Masses on August 6, 1979 at the Country Club Theater.

The parish then outgrew the Bonneville High School and the Alamo Storage Center to acquire this property with a stunning view of Mt. Ogden. On the opposite side of this mountain is the famous Snow Basin Ski Resort built for the 2002 Olympics in Utah. It is just a 20 minute drive from the campus.

On May 26, 1981, Bishop William Weigand dedicated the building on the lower property as the social hall and temporary church building.

Msgr. Lawrence Sweeney was appointed Pastor in 1982. He acquired the rest of the acreage and built the Parish Center at the top of the hill, just east of the present church, in 1990. When Holy Family was created it registered 187 families and has grown considerably over the years to occupy these eight acres of lush landscape in what was once known as Shadow Valley.

In 2005 Bishop Niederauer appointed Fr. Patrick Elliott as pastor.
