Fr. Timothy M. Hayes

Father Timothy Hayes, Pastor
Fr. Tim was born in McKees Rock, PA. and grew up in Columbus, OH. We welcomed Fr. Tim in July of 2023 to St. Edward the Confessor Church. Since then, he has become involved in many activities of the parish. He is a regular visitor to each PSR class and all Preschool classes. He has visited many groups within the parish such as Youth Group; Knights of Columbus; Women of St. Edward; Walking with Purpose. Through his homilies, parishioners are learning how Scripture and saints of the day relate to their lives. He has engaged parishioners attending Mass by offering them the opportunity
to come forward to receive personal, prayerful blessings from him and Deacon John for Families; protection
of our Throats; and also renewed wedding vows for couples on February 11, Marriage Sunday.
