Biography

Early life

Timothy Freyer was born on October 13, 1963, in Los Angeles and grew up in Huntington Beach, California. Freyer is the only child of Jerry and Patricia Freyer. After graduating from Huntington Beach High School, he entered the St. John's Seminary College in Camarillo, California, where he earned his bachelor's degree. He then spent four years as a graduate student at Saint John's studying theology.

Priesthood

Freyer was ordained a priest at Holy Family Cathedral in Orange, California, on June 10, 1989, by Bishop Norman McFarland for the Diocese of Orange.

After his 1989 ordination, the diocese assigned Freyer to the following Southern California parishes as an associate pastor:

• St. Hedwig in Los Alamitos (1989 to 1994)
• Our Lady of Fatima Parish in San Clemente (1994 to 1999)
• St. Catherine of Siena in Laguna Beach (1999 to 2001)

In addition to his pastoral jobs, Freyer was named as the first bishop's liaison to the Jovenes para Cristo (Young Adults for Christ) movement in 1998. He helped the Jovenes write their statutes and revise their plan of formation. Freyer also assisted them in opening chapters in California, Texas and Oregon.

In 2001, Freyer was appointed pastor of St. Mary's Parish in Fullerton. He was transferred from St. Catherine in 2002 to serve as administrator for St. Boniface Parish in Anaheim for one year; he was named pastor of St. Boniface in 2003. Freyer left St. Boniface in 2012 when Bishop Kevin Vann named him episcopal vicar for priests.

Freyer served as a board member for the following organizations:

• the Anaheim Family Justice Center in Dana Point, California
• St. Jude Medical Center in Fullerton, California

Freyer is a chaplain for the Anaheim Police Department.

Auxiliary Bishop of Orange

On November 23, 2016, Pope Francis named Freyer as auxiliary bishop for the Diocese of Orange. On January 17, 2017, Freyer was consecrated by Vann at Saint Columban Church in Garden Grove, with Archbishop José Horacio Gómez and Bishop Jaime Soto serving as co-consecrators.

Freyer holds the rank of senior chaplain in the Military and Hospitallar Order of St. Lazarus of Jerusalem as a chaplain in the Order's Commandery of the West.
