It is certainly not a surprise to anyone who knows Bishop Wester that a promotion was inevitable. His spirituality, courage, work ethic and warm pastoral style are a combination to make him a wise choice to be noticed and elevated to a more prominent role in the Catholic Church. While we are sad to “lose” him, we must just appreciate the fact that we had eight years to be led by him and that he, in turn, learned to love both the people of Utah and our state’s spectacular geography.

It has been a pleasure, blessing, and honor to work with Archbishop Wester. His commitment to the social mission of the church and his ability to promote Catholic teaching on controversial topics in a pastoral manner has been inspiring and instructive for me, and I hope for many of my fellow Catholics. Archbishop Wester has never shied away from saying what is unpopular so long as it has also been the right thing to do. The Diocese of Salt Lake City served as a strong voice for immigrants, the homeless, the imprisoned, the marginalized, and many others during Archbishop’s Wester tenure, and we will miss his clear example of how to truly abide in Christ.
