In our Diocese
Congratulations Msgr. Tom Cahalane
Msgr. Thomas Cahalane, retired pastor of Our Mother of Sorrows Parish in Tucson, has been nominated for Catholic Extension’s Lumen Christi award.
He is one of 49 nominees from mission dioceses around the country. The complete list can be found at lumenchristiaward.org/about.
The nomination cites his leadership of OMOS’ pursuit of “social justice and charitable work all over the world.” That includes efforts in Haiti, Agua Prieta and numerous sites in Tucson.
“My ministry is motivated by my trust and faith in the Lord, and it helps me 'put shoes on the Gospel,'” said Msgr. Cahalane.
Finalists earn a $10,000 ministry grant for that accomplishment.
The winner’s purse is heftier - $25,000 to support his ministry and $25,000 to support the ministry of the Diocese. Ministers or ministry in the Diocese of Tucson have never won a Lumen Christi.
