[edit] History

In 1946, the school officially opened its doors with a class of 76 freshmen. For three years, Timon was temporarily housed at Our Lady of Perpetual Help in Buffalo's old First Ward. On September 6, 1949, Timon moved into its current home on McKinley Parkway with an enrollment of approximitly 800 young men. In June of 1950, Bishop O'Hara awarded diplomas to Bishop Timon's first graduating class. The school was named Bishop Timon after Buffalo's first bishop John Timon. In 1993, the school added St. Jude to its name.
