Fr. Benjamin Armentrout​
Chaplain
Hello, my name is Father Armentrout and I am the new chaplain for the Sacred Heart Newman Center here at Missouri Western!  I grew up in Salisbury, Missouri.  The first time that I thought about the priesthood was in second grade.  But of course, like any serious aspiration of a second grader, my vocation required many more years of thought and prayer!  I attended Catholic grade school in Salisbury and enjoyed growing closer to our Lord while learning more about the faith and the importance of prayer.  I attended Salisbury High School and enjoyed my time in classes, with friends, and involvement in extra-curricular activities: football, baseball, weightlifting, and speech competitions. At the end of my time in high school, I went to Benedictine College for a year.  During that time, I returned to a more frequent prayer life, attended Mass almost daily, and discerned that God was in fact calling me to discern a priestly vocation.  At the end of the year, I transferred into the seminary.  I spent a few years at a seminary in Lincoln, Nebraska.  I finished up my time in seminary this May in St. Louis, Missouri.  On May 29th, I was ordained a priest of the Diocese of Kansas City- St. Joseph.  I am serving at the Cathedral of St. Joseph, St. Mary’s parish, and the Newman Center. I am passionate about the faith, enjoy reading great books, and still love sports and the outdoors!​​
