Taste of Faith
August 14, 2014 11 a.m.
Under ordinary circumstances, 44 presentable, mannerable, and charismatic young men — all unmarried — might represent 44 dreams come true for that number of marriage-minded young women. But these particular young men are not headed for the ministry of marriage. They are all future priests … and badly needed, according to Diocese of Little Rock statistics that show there are only 75 priests serving Arkansas' 130,000 Catholics. And for them, seminary is not cheap. Which is why the diocese held its fifth annual Taste of Faith to raise money for its future priests … and to bring awareness of them to Catholics in Arkansas. The reception and dinner took place Aug. 9 in the ballroom of the Little Rock Marriott.
