Imagine A Place
Imagine an enhanced place for learning and where we connect with one another in fellowship and celebration.
A Place for Learning
Our renewed Parish Center/School Gymnasium will enhance educational opportunities for our students in a safe environment.
School assemblies, guest speakers, intramural & team sports and other events held in our renewed space limited only by our imagination.
A Place to Connect
Our renewed Parish Center/School Gymnasium will be a place where, under one roof, we connect with one another for school activities and instill team work and camaraderie through athletic games and events.
A Place to Celebrate
Our renewed Parish Center/School Gymnasium will be a place where community and fellowship comes alive. Imagine a place for parish and school fund raisers, a teen dance; or, an event celebrating your child’s graduation.
Our Vision
To keep pace with an ever-changing world, we seek to prepare our students as global citizens of the 21st century. Over the past seven years with support of our parent community we have:
- Introduced new student-centered technologies.
- Adopted new curricula to support engaged 21st century learning.
- Implemented new extra-curricular enrichment offerings, such as coding, martial arts, and theater.
- Invested more than $300,000 in targeted physical improvements.
- But there is so much more that we can do!
Our Parish Center/School Gymnasium
Having served the St. Timothy community since 1961, our Parish Center/School Gymnasium is more than basketball and bingo.
More than four generations of the St. Timothy community have used our parish center/gymnasium for a multitude of events and activities - drama and musicals, holiday celebrations, assemblies, athletics and fundraisers.
Under One Roof
58 years of daily use, long-deferred maintenance and lack of accessibility for people with disabilities compromise our parish center/school gymnasium’s usability.
Under One Roof is an exciting endeavor to renew and modernize our Parish Center/Gymnasium - to be more conducive to the many activities that define us as a community. We invite you to be part of Under One Roof.
Our renewal and modernization plan entails a range of planned initiatives to include:
- New Flooring
- Window Replacement
- Interior Painting
- ADA Compliant Restrooms
- Ceiling Replacement
- New Stage Lighting & Curtains
- Table/Chair Replacement
- Electrical Upgrades
- New Audio-Visual Equipment
- Safety & Security Improvements
Contingent upon funding, construction is scheduled for the summer of 2020 with completion later next fall.

Questions and Answers
Why are we conducting a campaign?
Projected construction costs far exceed excess funding from parish offertory and school tuition. A parish/school-wide campaign is the most practical and expedient way in which we can obtain project funding.
What are expectations for the Parish & School?
We are ONE CHURCH, ONE SCHOOL, and ONE COMMUNITY. It is our hope we will STRENGTHEN our firm foundation by investing our time and financial resources so we will grow and thrive well into the future.
