It operates Saint Timothy Catholic School (K-8), noted as one of the largest Catholic elementary schools in Virginia.
 Established in June 1969 amid rapid growth in the Chantilly area, the parish traces roots to earlier missions, with land acquired on Poplar Tree Road after initial sites proved unsuitable. The current church was dedicated in 1975, with subsequent expansions including school facilities. As of December 19, 2025, Saint Timothy fosters diverse ministries, faith formation, and community service.
