Saint Timothy Catholic School Celebrates 45 Years
On March 21, 2026, Saint Timothy Catholic School community gathered for an evening of celebration, generosity, and fellowship at the beautiful Barn at Brambleton for the school’s Annual Auction Gala. This year’s event was especially meaningful as the school marked its 45th anniversary, celebrating decades of faithful education, strong families, and a vibrant parish life.
Parents, teachers, alumni, and friends of the school came together for a joyful night dedicated to supporting the mission of Catholic education. The rustic charm of the Barn at Brambleton once again provided the perfect setting for the festivities, offering a warm and welcoming atmosphere as guests enjoyed dinner, conversation, and the excitement of the evening’s auction.
A personal address of welcome and congratulations from His Excellency, Bishop Burbidge of the Diocese of Arlington.
The program began with a heartfelt message from His Excellency, Bishop Michael Burbidge, who shared a warm and personal reflection on the importance of Catholic schools in forming young people in faith, knowledge, and virtue. His encouraging words reminded everyone present of the profound impact Saint Timothy Catholic School has had on generations of students over the past 45 years.
A returning favorite, the excellent Mr. Brian Calabria!
Adding energy and enthusiasm to the evening was the return of crowd-favorite auctioneer Brian Calabria, who once again kept the room engaged and entertained throughout the live auction. With his signature humor and lively style, he helped inspire spirited bidding as guests generously supported the school through a variety of unique items and experiences.
I was honored to return once again as the event photographer, documenting the many joyful moments of the evening. From candid conversations and laughter among friends to the excitement of the live auction, it was a privilege to capture the celebration of such a meaningful milestone for the school community.
Throughout the night, attendees celebrated not only the success of the auction but also the strong sense of community that makes Saint Timothy Catholic School so special. As the school commemorates its 45th anniversary, the evening served as a joyful reminder of the many families, educators, and benefactors who have helped build and sustain its mission.
The Annual Auction Gala continues to be one of the school’s most important traditions, bringing the community together to ensure that Saint Timothy Catholic School can continue forming students in faith and excellence for many years to come.
