Father Ben Little
Father Ben grew up in Little Canada, and has been blessed with lifelong Catholic education: Saint John the Evangelist in Little Canada, Cretin-Derham Hall, the University of Dallas, and Saint Paul Seminary. He once considered a career in politics, but the call to the priesthood he began to hear in fourth grade eventually brought him into the vocation he loves and is blessed to live. He was ordained in 2012 and is a member of the priestly fraternal association the Companions of Christ. Father Ben was named pastor of Saint John's in June 2020.
Father enjoys spending time with family and friends, quiet days on the water in his canoe or the ice shack, reading, exercising, and some amateur woodworking. He is a long-suffering Minnesota sports fan and an avowed coffee enthusiast. Above all, he has a great love for our Triune God, our Blessed Mother Mary, and the One, Holy, Catholic, and Apostolic Church.
