Pastor's Message
"I look forward with great anticipation to my first year as pastor at St. Timothy's School. We are so blessed to have the gift of Catholic Education right here in Maple Lake. Our children are not just the future of the Church, they are an invaluable component of our Church today. One cannot help but be in the presence of our youth and witness individuals full of life, love, and joy. Our children are living examples of the Gospel values and virtues.

At St. Timothy's we stress that our students are valued because they are loved and because they are created in the image and likeness of God. We have faith-filled teachers and volunteers who teach our children a love for God and a love for our brothers and sisters. Our students receive a great education that emphasizes the Gospel of Jesus Christ and develops the whole person - body, mind and spirit."
-Fr. Michael Izen
