Priests from Nigeria

Father Joseph Archibong, associate pastor of St. Joseph Church in Pine Bluff, celebrates Mass with other Nigerian priests July 26 at St. Augustine Church in North Little Rock.
Pastor Father Bartholomew Okere hosted the Mass and lunch to bring together several of the Nigerian priests who are serving temporarily in Arkansas. Currently 14 priests in the diocese are from that African country.
Father Archibong was ordained a diocesan priest in May and it was his first time to celebrate Mass with the priests.
