In a world in which it seems our actions have little impact, there are some things we can do to touch the future. Giving to Timon is one of them.

It is through the partnership, generosity, and commitment of our alumni, friends, and benefactors that Bishop Timon – St. Jude High School has remained a staple in the South Buffalo Community. For over 75 years Timon has been fulfilling its mission of providing a quality, Catholic education. Your investment in the lives of the young men who fill our halls enables us to accomplish much more as we continue to change with the times, enhancing our academic program, growing our clubs and activities, all while offering spiritual and moral direction.

The young men who attend Timon are committed to carrying on our legacy, now and into the future. These young men have displayed grit, determination, intelligence and Franciscan values in their everyday actions.

Timon's leadership remains fully committed to expend every effort and exhaust all energies to ensure these young men, and future generations of young men will have the opportunity through every resource at their disposal to become a Timon man.

The young men at Timon need the support and generosity of our alumni more than ever. Whether it was athletics, academics, student government, clubs or just lifelong friendships that you still hold true today, make a gift this year to ensure that the young men following you will have the same opportunity you did and provide them what you have, which is a proud Timon heritage.
