Deacon Tony Underwood, of St. Patrick Roman Catholic Parish in Bisbee, has been honored as a 2025-2026 Lumen Christi Award finalist by the Catholic Extension Society.
The Lumen Christi Award is the organization’s highest honor given to those who radiate and reveal the light of Christ present in the communities they serve.
This year’s finalists were chosen from 41 nominees submitted by bishops, recognizing the incredible work of people and institutions from their regions. From these finalists, one national recipient will be announced this fall.
Award finalists receive $15,000 to support and enhance their ministry. Among the finalists, the Lumen Christi Award recipient will ultimately be selected and given a $100,000 award, split between the honoree and their nominating diocese.
