Taste of Faith is a dinner to raise money to help pay for seminarian education in the Diocese of Little Rock. It is held in Little Rock as well as other areas of the state three to four times per year. In addition to the meal, attendees are treated to musical entertainment, testimonies and talks from the diocesan vocations director and our bishop. It is estimated to cost the diocese $36,000 a year to educate and provide for the living expenses of one seminarian.

Because of the COVID-19 pandemic, the 2020 Taste of Faith dinners were combined into one, livestream event that everyone could watch online. If you missed "Taste of Faith: Virtual Edition," watch it anytime below or on our YouTube channel.

For more information, contact Dianne Brady, director, at (501) 664-0340, ext. 391.

In addition to Taste of Faith, seminarian supporters may contribute to the cost of seminarian education any time of the year by donating online to the Support Seminarian Education fund. If you prefer to give cash or write a check, you are welcome to contribute to the annual Holy Thursday Collection for Seminarians, which is taken up in all parishes in Arkansas, or donate to the Msgr. James O'Connell Seminarian Fund.
