Knight of the Gael

Knight of the Gael

Knight of the Gael has become Bishop Gorman High School’s signature event, this event has become a beloved tradition for our most prominent alumni, families and friends. Knight of the Gael has raised millions of dollars for the students of Bishop Gorman High School, especially for our Tuition Assistance Program. Thanks to our faithful and dedicated community, the funds raised continue to ensure a quality Catholic education for generations of Gaels.
 
Year after year, the Knight of the Gael continues to bring together the Bishop Gorman faithful for a night of celebration and to honor a loyal and dedicated member of our community. Over 600 individuals gather at this event, making it the perfect opportunity to showcase your business or organization and, of course, your support.
