History of
The Church of St Timothy
The Church of St Timothy
The Parish of St. Timothy was founded in 1958 to meet the needs of 450 families in West Hartford, CT.
Its first pastor, the late Reverend Francis O’Neill, guided it for the first thirty years. Ground was broken for the church and school in September 1959 and the first Mass was celebrated in the church in June 1960.
Before the current church was built, Sunday Masses were offered at King Philip School; daily Mass was celebrated in a small chapel behind the rectory. This building is now the priest’s garage. The rectory, built in the 1700’s, is considered an historic landmark.
