Make your Pledge Here!

My dad always used to tell me, especially after big camping trips: “Always leave a place better than you found it.” 40 years ago, a group of individuals gathered together to talk about a new Catholic Church that would serve the residents of Dobson Ranch and the surrounding community. These individuals planned for the future and made great sacrifices to establish our Parish. I seriously doubt that any of them thought this community would grow to be the dynamic, engaged and spirit-filled Parish it is today. Since its founding, St. Timothy has been an example to other parishes in the Diocese of Phoenix and across the country of how to evangelize and how to build community.

When I think about my own story at St. Timothy, I am humbled and amazed. This is the Parish where I came back to my faith. This is the Parish where I received my call to the priesthood, where I celebrated my first Mass and now where I have been assigned as pastor. Leaving this Parish better than I found it is a tall order!

While the goals of this campaign largely focus on facilities and infrastructure, what we are trying to do is provide a thriving, welcoming Church and Diocese now and for the next generation of Catholics.

I hope you share in my enthusiasm for the Together, Let Us Go Forth ~ Juntos Sigamos Adelante campaign. I invite you to reflect on what this Parish means to you in your own faith journey and pray about the unique sacrificial contribution you can make to this effort.


Fr. John Greb, Pastor
