A Word from Your Pastor - July 10

Dear Parishioners:

When folks think of St. Timothy Parish, many speak of the experience of the Festival.  It is old home weekend with a gathering of folks from all over for fun and simple enjoyment of being together.  This time is always a highlight of the summer for us at St. Timothy.  It also begins a countdown of festivals in our neighborhood parishes throughout the rest of the summer.

I offer thanks to the teams who put on the Festival, coordinated by Joe Lorenz and a group of leaders who oversee all the volunteers and the details needed to put it all together and then to take it all apart for next year.  Your efforts are deeply appreciated by the whole community.

As we observe the fun of the weekend and then the annual “miracle on the green” that makes it all disappear, let’s set our sights on next year.  The Festival for 2017 will be July 14-15.  Put it on your calendar now so you won’t miss it!


The Gospel calls us to love our neighbor as a sign that God is first in our lives.  When we respond to the invitation to follow Jesus, we are called into a deeper relationship with Him.  He draws us into His way of loving and we have something beautiful to offer to our brothers and sisters.  May the joy of this weekend keep us mindful of the call to live so we may inherit everlasting life.
