Groundbreaking Ceremony

Saturday, September 12th, 2026 - Holy Family Church Groundbreaking Ceremony

Our groundbreaking ceremony marked a joyful and historic moment for Holy Family Parish.  We are especially grateful to Archbishop Rozanski and our Episcopal Vicar, Fr. Mike Lydon, for their presence and continued support of our parish and this important project.  Now, the work has visibly begun! Equipment is on site, the ground is being moved, and the place where our new church will stand is beginning to take shape.  This progress is the result of years of prayer, careful planning, generous sacrifices, and the dedicated work of many parishioners and professionals.  There will be challenges and important decisions ahead, but this first movement of earth reminds us that our plans are becoming a reality. Thank you to everyone who has supported this project through prayer, service, and financial generosity.  Together, we are building more than a church building.  We are preparing a spiritual home where generations will encounter Jesus Christ, celebrate the sacraments, and grow together as one family of faith.   May God bless the workers and guide us through the project. ~ Fr. Blessing

A Special Recognition for Holy Family Parish
 
We extend our sincere gratitude to Mayor Bill Moritz and State Representative Phil Amato for the special honors presented to Holy Family Parish during our groundbreaking celebration.
 
Mayor Moritz issued an official proclamation declaring September 12, 2026, Holy Family Parish Groundbreaking Day in the City of Arnold. Representative Amato presented a resolution from the Missouri House of Representatives recognizing our parish’s rich history, the union of Immaculate Conception and St. David parishes, and this important step toward building our new spiritual home.
 
These recognitions honor not only a building project, but also the generations of parishioners whose faith, sacrifice, and service have helped shape our parish and the wider Arnold community. We are deeply grateful to Mayor Moritz and Representative Amato for celebrating this historic moment with us and for their continuing support of Holy Family Parish.
