Church of Divine Mercy in Knoxville and Helenwood Pregnancy Help Center in Scott County are the newest sites for St. Mary's Legacy Clinic.

The Lumen Christi Award is Catholic Extension’s highest honor given to people who radiate and reveal the light of Christ present in the communities where they serve. This year, 40 dioceses submitted nominations for the award. Each nomination celebrates the humble heroes who powerfully impact others through their actions, leadership and faithfulness. Seven of the 40 nominees were chosen as award finalists.

To illustrate the continuing legacy of St. Mary’s ministry in the community, the St. Mary’s Legacy Clinic and its staff were on hand when the city of Knoxville and mayor Indya Kincannon gathered hundreds of city and Knox County officials for the annual state of the city address at the site of the old St. Mary's Hospital.
