On March 19, 2024, Timothy Horan lost away as a result of a tumor that was not only uncommon but also aggressive during his entire life. There was a malignant tumor that led to the death. Over the course of forty-four years, he served as a priest in the Diocese of Rochester, where he was held in high esteem. Over the course of his stay in the Diocese, he put in a lot of effort to fulfill the roles of priest and pastor in seven different local parishes. His final location of employment was at the Holy Trinity Church, which is located in Webster.
Over the course of forty-four years, he was a revered priest in the Diocese of Rochester, where he diligently served as a priest and pastor in seven local parishes.

Father Tim, as he was known to his congregation, was born and reared in Cuyahoga Falls, Ohio, on February 18, 1948. His entire life was spent there. Both Archbishop Hoban High School in Akron, Ohio, and St. Michael’s College at the University of Toronto, where he got his Bachelor of Arts degree in Honors History, were among his educational institutions of choice.
During his time at St. Mike’s, he became acquainted with members of the American student and Basilian Fathers communities, friendships that would last a lifetime, and connections that would eventually lead him to Rochester. While he was working as a teacher at Our Lady of Mercy High School for a number of years, he decided to enroll in St. Bernard’s Seminary in order to begin his studies toward becoming a priest. On the 11th of May in 1979, he was ordained.
Father Tim served as the Diocesan Director of Priestly Vocations for a period of fourteen years, in addition to his administrative responsibilities as a pastor. His dedication to the priesthood was warm and genuine, and he was thrilled about it. I absolutely adore becoming a priest, and I would want to be able to share that joy with young men who are attempting to determine the path that God is calling them to take in their lives. Being a parish priest, in my opinion, provides you with the opportunity to interact with people in their everyday lives, which is exactly where the Gospel needs to take place.
Philip Hedges Horan and Rosemary Hedges Horan, Father Tim’s parents, passed away before themselves. His cherished sisters, Mary Patricia (Michael-RIP) Tweardy and Maureen (George) Malaska, are the ones that hold on to him after his passing. In addition, he is survived by thousands of people in the Rochester community whom he considered to be friends and extended family. These are individuals whose hearts and minds he touched during his incredible life of service as a Catholic priest. A public expression of gratitude is sent by the Horan family to the Leo Center for Caring Hospice, which is located within the St. Ann’s Home community, for the exceptional and compassionate care that was provided to Father Horan during his final weeks.
