Join us for an unforgettable evening as we celebrate faith, service, and the enduring light of hope at the Gala of Lights, honoring Father Michael Woods, a priest whose life and vocation have profoundly touched generations.
For more than six decades, Father Woods has lived his priesthood with humility, warmth, and a deep love for community. Ordained in Ireland and serving in the Diocese of Knoxville since 1994, he is known for his distinctive Irish brogue, his heartfelt preaching, and his unwavering commitment to bringing people together in faith. 

His message has always been clear: even in a world facing darkness and hardship, moments of shared faith, love, and community can overcome it.

The Gala of Lights is inspired by that same spirit. This special evening will bring together friends, parishioners, family, and supporters to honor Father Woods’ remarkable legacy while celebrating the light he has shared so generously. Guests can expect a beautiful night filled with fellowship, reflection, and gratitude for a life dedicated to the Gospel and to the people he has served so faithfully.
