St. Timothy Catholic Church is a Roman Catholic parish in the Los Angeles Archdiocese, Our Lady of the Angels Pastoral Region. The church is located at 10425 West Pico Boulevard in the Rancho Park neighborhood on the westside of Los Angeles, California, USA. Its Spanish Renaissance style church was built in 1949. ==History== The parish of St. Timothy was created in 1943 to serve the Rancho Park and Cheviot Hills sections of Los Angeles.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=St. Timothy Catholic Church )〕 When the parish was first established, it did not yet have a church, and Masses were held in an ice cream parlor on Pico Boulevard.〔 A temporary church, now used as the parish hall, was dedicated by Bishop John J. Cantwell on April 22, 1945. The current church building opened for Midnight Mass on Christmas 1949.〔 For its first half century, St. Timothy's was led by two pastors. In its early years, St. Timothy's was led Father William T. O'Shea (1902-1963), who served as pastor from 1943 until his death in 1963.〔〔 (reporting on appointment of Father O'Shea as pastor of the new St. Timothy parish)〕 In 1963, Bishop John J. Ward was appointed as the pastor, making St. Timothy one of only two parishes in the Archdiocese to have a bishop for a pastor. Bishop Ward served as pastor from 1963 until his retirement in 1996.〔 Father William J. Brelsford became pastor upon the retirement of Bishop Ward and remained the pastor from 1996 to 2009.〔 In July 2009, Father Paul E. Vigil, a native of Los Angeles and a graduate of Bishop Amat High School, became the fourth pastor in the history of St. Timothy.〔(【引用サイトリンク】publisher=St. Timothy Catholic Church )〕 As of 2009, there were 1,200 registered households in parish.〔 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「St. Timothy Catholic Church (Los Angeles)」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
