Russell Arnett became the first married priest in Archdiocese of Milwaukee after he was ordained to priesthood in St. Jerome Parish in Milwaukee on Saturday. Father Arnett is the first married priest to enter Archdiocese of Milwaukee through pastoral provision.

Father Arnett is now one of about 100 married priests in the country who were all converted from different Christian beliefs (Baptist, Presbyterian, etc.). Father Arnett’s wife also converted into a Catholic, she says it’s sometimes strange when she tells people that her husband is a priest, but she says she’s getting used to it.
