The Diocese of Little Rock will ordain Jaime Nieto and Daniel Wendel to the priesthood at 10 a.m., Saturday, May 28 at the Cathedral of St. Andrew in Little Rock. Bishop Anthony B. Taylor has invited all the faithful to attend the ordination, a triumphant moment in the Catholic Church in Arkansas.
Nieto, who grew up in St. Raphael Parish in Springdale, and Wendel, who grew up at Christ the King Church in Little Rock, both began attending Assumption Seminary in San Antonio in 2018.
This special annual section contains articles about both of our soon-to-be priests; a report on the world premiere of “The Making of a Catholic Priest,” a documentary on Arkansas' own Father Stephen Gadberry; and how priests - including married priests - in the Diocese of Little Rock face celibacy and chastity.
